We went to the "Racing into the Future" workshop over at Rough River State Park yesterday. For a workshop that I had no idea what to expect from, it went pretty well. It's different from most workshops, in that this is more of a program that we're participating in. They're going to follow up on our progress and everything. Luckily, this is something we really needed to do anyway. Plus, there was a cool brainstorming activity that I'm going to steal one of these days.
We talked about making plans of action, short and long term goals so that we provide the best technology and support to our patrons that we can manage. And if we do this planning correctly, "what we can manage" in the future can be much more. My goals are: to use the move as a good opportunity to create a technology inventory (we don't have one, as far as I know) and to keep it updated, and also to make a procedures manual with instructions and passwords for all of our technological equipment. Some of this is already in the binder at the front desk (TLC procedures, but they probably need updated now that I think about it), but there are several things that really should be added, like the microfilm machine and the phone system. This will be a good reference for everyone, especially new employees. Whee goals!
What goals would you like to see us have?
