Pre-conferences at Tri-conference By Jan Brue Enright, SDLA President

Library pre-conferences are an opportunity to get uninterrupted quality programming in a short amount of time. This year we are pleased to offer three separate opportunities for pre-conference education on Wednesday, September 25.

Story Time Slime This all-day session is tailored for anyone who works with children---librarians, teachers, or early childhood educators. Julie Gintzler from Steve Spangler Science is bringing “Story Time Slime” to South Dakota. The session is designed with one guiding principle in mind . . . teachers learn best by doing! Julie’s approach to teaching children and teachers is the same -- make it hands-on and get involved. As an attendee, you’ll personally conduct more than 20 hands-on activities that are focused on the themes of air, water, color, weather, the senses, force and motion, and the environment. In addition, Julie combines her passion for teaching science with her love of great literature and creates incredible learning opportunities. You will receive a take-home kit ($40 value) filled with the learning tools you’ll need to implement Julie’s strategies for teaching hands-on science. If you are concerned about the 2014 Summer Reading Program theme of science and literature, this session will give you lots of hands-on experience along with loads of ideas. Session cost is $75, begins at 9 a.m., breaks for lunch, and will end in time for keynote speaker Rick Steves’ presentation.

The Inclusive Library: Serving Diverse User Populations* We live in a changing world, and libraries are faced with issues of diversity each day. Join four staff members (two librarians, an Associate VP for Diversity, and Director of Disability Services) from the University of South Dakota as they address “The Inclusive Library: Serving Diverse User Populations.” One of our core beliefs is that libraries should be open to all. This pre-conference will focus on that concept and ask participants to reflect on how well libraries serve diverse populations. Participants will learn about the concept of inclusiveness and how it relates to diversity, have the opportunity to discuss their own experiences related to diverse user groups and the library, and will participate in hands-on activities that could be used for game planning and enhancing diversity and inclusion as core values. Morning session, cost: $40.

The Power of Leading to Achieve Great Service* Great service is everyone’s business. Join consultant, author, and speaker Dee Dee Raap in a half-day pre- conference session, “The Power of Leading to Achieve Great Service.” Dee Dee’s belief is simple: libraries matter because people matter. With a simple focus on values, attitudes, communication, and teamwork, Dee Dee helps library leaders take the next step toward transforming service into one of their best public relations and marketing strategies. In today’s world, can your library afford NOT to have great service? Afternoon session: $40

*Note: If you select both half-day sessions, the total cost is $75. All sessions will end in time for keynote speaker Rick Steves’ presentation. Box lunches will be available for purchase.

Social Media Image Maker (Web App)

Whether for personal, professional, or institutional use, you should keep any and all social media accounts you maintain looking prim and proper. The challenge arises (especially when maintaining a multitude of accounts) in that each employs various profile, header, banner, thumbnail, and logo images in all manner of shapes and sizes. Subsequently, it can be a bit of a bother to figure out what’s needed where and to get everything scaled, cropped, and rotated appropriately. That’s where Social Media Image Maker comes in. It provides templates, size specs, and online editing tools for every variety of image you’d ever need to work with on Facebook, YouTube, Google+, Flickr, Vimeo, Pinterest, Skype, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Gravatar, Xing, Viadeo, Slideshares, Fouresquare, and About.me (as of this writing; perhaps more by the time it’s published!)

The process is as simple as selecting the pertinent platform from the menu at the left (or scrolling to it). Next, select the type of image you need and click the Create > button.

You will then be prompted to select the image file you’d like to work from (SMIM will tell you the minimum size and supported formats), which you can do by dragging and dropping it or by browsing for it. From there, you’ll be able to crop, rotate, apply various filters and effects, choose a file name (for the newly minted edited version of your image), select the format you’d like it in, and then download the edited perfectly sized image for your needs. The process is super fast and their interface is extremely easy to use.
