Dear Colleagues,
I’m pleased to announce new opportunities to participate in the popular Negotiation Skills for Librarians online training in January 2017.
Designed for academic librarians, consortia staff and other information professionals involved in e-resource acquisition, this 6-week professionally facilitated online course provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of negotiating with publishers and other vendors.
Over six-weeks I will share highly practical knowledge, skills, tips and tools which librarians and consortia members can apply immediately to on-going and future negotiations, both new deals and renewals.
Feedback from a participant from the Jan 2016 North American online course:
“This was my first online class…and I thought it was terrific. I was afraid I might not get to know my classmates very well, but that wasn't the case at all. I think we built a really good class camaraderie! The Ruzuku platform helped with that, but I think the live weekly webinars were the key. Sarah, you did such a good job facilitating those….The content was excellent. [I am seriously going to laminate some of the handouts to keep track of their points easily!] This was exactly the information I needed, at the pace I needed it, and at the time I needed it. I don't think I could have asked the stars to align more perfectly. This course met or exceeded every expectation I had.” Kim Maxwell, Electronic Resources Management Librarian, Massachusetts Institute of Technology [views expressed are personal and do not reflect endorsement by the affiliate institution].
This 6-week course is based on the popular 1-day in-person workshop which I have been adapting and delivering since 2008 throughout Europe and the Middle East. During that time, over 350 information professionals have taken part with over 97% rating their experience overall as ‘Excellent’ and 100% saying they would recommend the workshop to their colleagues.
