  • Change Management and Leadership for Medical Librarians
    Change is a given in 21st century medical libraries: intrusive, exhilarating, and growing in strength and frequency. Being an effective change agent and coping with change partly depends on your sense of perspective. If you can understand how change impacts other people and the medical library as a whole, you can learn to increase the benefits and lower the costs (and stress) for yourself and others. This program addresses the needs of both the medical library change agent and those asked to implement the changes. Topics include: understanding the five roles, typical mistakes and how to prevent and fix them, what is changing in medical libraries, eight characteristics of people who cope well with change, nine causes of stress, conceptual tools and models, case studies and knowing when change is not the answer. This is a facilitated, online class. It is at an intermediate level and on successful completion will provide eight CE credits. The class begins January 27th and will run through March 3.
