Suggestions
March 27th, 2008 by Kathryn FoleyIt’s 4 in the a.m. and while the body is tired my mind won’t quit. Others were still running later than I was as there are blogs to read from after my posting – did some of us get too highly recharged? Do I really only need 5 hrs rest?
As per the title – Jan suggested in her welcome at the New Members Reception that we jot down one or two ideas each day to share with our colleagues who were not so fortunate to be here. Could we share them here? Anyone can send a comment here and I’d really like to hear some ideas inspired by sessions I just can’t fit in.
From PreC. Who said “Management Can’t Be Fun?”
- When you are a manager it is more important to be respected than liked.
- The ‘tent’ of management can hold up if it is missing some of its poles but the one that will take it down is lack of open communication
- We all will meet some of life’s clowns!!!!!
- We tend to hire for skills and fire for lack of characteristics – so start looking for the characteristics you want and teach the skills to the people who fit your organization and have the personality suited to give service to others – all others!
- Reading is a solitary endeavor but librarians are people who serve the information needs of others.
- Information is the gateway to empowerment - John Wood showed us just how empowered people can be with a little help along the way.
Help - I found the insert picture icon now how do I give my image a URL?

Check out the Posting Photos section of the PLA Blog wiki for adding pics to posts. The “Image URL” that the insert photo feature in WordPress is looking for is either the location of the image on the server (we don’t allow uploading to the server, so this won’t work), or the URL of the image at an outside photo hosting location (Flickr, Photobucket, some other server space, etc.).
