Leadership and Influence: Building Capacity for Change
Location: Convention Center, Room 205
Solo Librarians 3rd Annual Gerry Hurley Memorial Leadership Session. Most researchers agree that "leadership is a process of social influence in which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task." But how does one lead from the middle? How does one lead as a solo librarian? Weaving together research from advocacy, collaboration, influence and leadership, Ken Haycock will provide a practical yet evidence-based approach to building capacity for change and improvement in your organization. Whether you lead a large work team or only yourself, his presentation will address the gaps between common practice and best practices.

Taxonomy Made Easy: An Introduction to Taxonomies for the Accidental Taxonomist
Location: Convention Center, Room 222
The growing interest in taxonomies may result in librarians, especially solo corporate librarians, being asked to create or manage taxonomies, even if they had not done that work before. Thus we have the accidental taxonomist. This presentation gives an introduction to taxonomies, controlled vocabularies and thesauri, for those who are new to the field. Different types and applications of taxonomies, the basic structure of how to create a taxonomy, best practices for creating terms and relationships, and available taxonomy tools will be covered.
Speaking: Heather Hedden
Presented by: Solo Librarians Division; Taxonomy Division
