Two Part Webinar: Finding the Funding

Webinar

About This Two-Part Webinar

This two-part event will look at the messaging, media platforms, policymaking, agency, and tensions involved when librarians become funding advocates. It will also examine social media and effective practices related to navigating participatory networks.

Aside from funding libraries themselves, there are many innovative projects that might never be accomplished without the support of grants from foundations of various sizes and sorts. What are the current trends? The speakers in this event will identify and examine those trends and share their possible impact on the academic environment.

Confirmed speakers across the two segments include Alan Inouye, Director, Office of Public Policy, American Library Association; David Rothman, Co-Founder and Corilee Christou, Director of Publisher and Library Relations Emeritus, Library Endowment; Lance Werner, Executive Director, Kent District Library; Phil Ward, Deputy Director, Research Services, University of Kent; Raym Crow, Senior Consultant, SPARC; Kate Tkacik, Director of Network Engagement, The Foundation Center; Angi Faiks, Associate Library Director, and Ron Joslin, Librarian, Macalester College. 

Part 1 of this Webinar, Library Funding and Successful Advocacy, will be held on Wednesday, October 10, 2018.

Part 2 of this Webinar, Strategic Approaches to Funding Scholarly Initiatives, will be held on Wednesday, October 17, 2018.

Additional Information

  • Cancellations made by Wednesday, October 3, 2018 will receive a refund, less a $35 cancellation. After that date, there are no refunds.

  • Registrants will receive detailed instructions about accessing the virtual conference via e-mail the Friday prior to the event. (Anyone registering between Monday and the close of registration will receive the message shortly after the registration is received, within normal business hours.) Due to the widespread use of spam blockers, filters, out of office messages, etc., it is your responsibility to contact the NISO office if you do not receive login instructions before the start of the webinar.

  • If you have not received your Login Instruction e-mail by 10 a.m. (ET) on the day before the virtual conference, please contact the NISO office at nisohq@niso.org for immediate assistance.

  • Registration is per site (access for one computer) and includes access to the online recorded archive of the conference. You may have as many people as you like from the registrant's organization view the conference from that one connection. If you need additional connections, you will need to enter a separate registration for each connection needed.

  • If you are registering someone else from your organization, either use that person's e-mail address when registering or contact nisohq@niso.org to provide alternate contact information.

  • Conference presentation slides and Q&A will be posted to this event webpage following the live conference.

  • Registrants will receive an e-mail message containing access information to the archived conference recording within 48 hours after the event. This recording access is only to be used by the registrant's organization.

For Online Events

  • You will need a computer for the presentation and Q&A.

  • Audio is available through the computer (broadcast) and by telephone. We recommend you have a set-up for telephone audio as back-up even if you plan to use the broadcast audio as the voice over Internet isn't always 100% reliable.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your system is properly set up before each webinar begins.
