----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Help, please - I and a colleague, Laurie Whitehill from Rhode Island School of Design, have been working on a conference workshop proposal for the Art Libraries Society of North America 1997 conference in San Antonio. A copy of the workshop proposal is attached below. We have not been able to find someone who feels qualified to run the workshop, however, and will have to put this proposal off until next year if we can't find someone REAL SOON. Laurie and I are both on the East coast, so it's hard to find someone in Texas from here! If anyone has a recommendation, please contact me directly. Thanks very much. Sara J.

Sharper and clearer: focusing your presentation skills Enrollment Limit: 15 Price: $75 Whether giving a library tour, conducting a bibliographic instruction session, engaging in a reference interview, training a new employee, or making an oral presentation to a Board of Trustees, all librarians employ various forms of verbal and non-verbal communication. Many of us, however, seldom have the opportunity for guidance and feedback on our public speaking skills. The purpose of this all-day workshop is to help librarians develop more effective oral presentation skills. The format of the workshop will include a lecture/demonstration, followed by a voluntary videotaping session and evaluation. While the workshop will focus on presentation skills for reference or bibliographic instruction, the content of the lecture and the videotaping experience will be relevant to all librarians. =0D The day will be divided into a morning session with a lecture and demonstration given by the workshop leader. Participants who have indicated that they would like to be videotaped will then present (not read!) a prepared three minute talk on a topic of their choice to the group, in front of the camera. Following a lunch break, workshop participants will view the videotaped presentations. The workshop leader will offer comments and suggestions for each presentation and solicit feedback and dialogue from the group. Further discussion will re-emphasize essential skills and, if time allows, a few participants may have the opportunity to re-do their presentations. Workshop Leaders tba.
