New Information Technologies: The 10 Toughest Decisions Facing Library
    Managers

    Full-day Workshop. The ten most difficult decisions faced by library
    administrators in the areas of planning, budgeting, and staffing;
    the role of the library within the parent organization; and
    technology leadership will be systematically explored during this
    workshop. For each of these decision areas, the group will learn
    about the forces working against decisive action by library
    managers, the consequences of inaction, factors to consider in
    making decisions, and options available. These concepts will be
    illustrated and reinforced using group exercises dealing with
    specific new technologies such as imaging, Internet navigation
    tools, and electronic document delivery. Led by Tom Kinney, Library
    Liaison Officer, AMIGOS. Member: $160/$135 early, non-member:
    $225/$200 early.

Linking Strategic Objectives to Your Library Budget

    Full-day Workshop. Learn how to recast your library's line-item
    budget into a program budget and gain better control of your
    resources. This workshop will give you tools to link the strategic
    objectives of your institution or organization to the services
    provided by your library. Barbara Robinson, Library Management
    Consultant with Robinson & Associates, will discuss methods to
    quantify costs for operating specific library services; focus on
    ways to make the best use of resources; and differentiate between
    capital and operating expenditures, direct and indirect costs,
    average and marginal costs, and fixed versus variable costs.
    Cosponsored by Special Libraries Association. Member: $160/$135
    early, non-member: $185/160 early.

Covering Your Assets: Insurance for Cultural Institutions

    Full-day Workshop. Differentiating the types of insurance and
    working with risk managers and insurance agents is a skill that
    administrators of libraries, museums, and archives need to acquire.
    Jeanne Drewes, Preservation Consultant and educator, will illustrate
    the benefits of having insurance and the impact that working under
    an inadequate policy could have on your institution. Member:
    $100/$75 early, non-member: $125/110 early.
