Item The Aha Moments of the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute(American Library Association, 2015-05) Galbraith, Nora; Thompson, EridanWe are graduates of the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute, (SSLLI), which is a professional development initiative sponsored by the Florida State Division of Library and Information Services. We both applied and were accepted into the institute and agreed to commit to attend ten sessions over a period of nine months. We also agreed to select and work with a mentor who would provide advice and guidance during that period.Item Designing a Successful Professional Development Initiative(Learning Round Table of the American Library Association, 2018-03) Galbraith, NoraThe Teaching and Learning Center at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, offers professional development initiatives (PDI) to the faculty every fall and spring. For two years the librarians at Florida Southern’s Roux Library offered to conduct a PDI, but not enough faculty members signed up for the classes and they were canceled. To increase the appeal, we decided to rethink our proposal and considered what has been successful for us.Item Frank Lloyd Wright in the South: a Photographic Essay(2017-05) Galbraith, NoraThe goal of this photographic essay was to capture some of Wright’s details and discover how he incorporated similar details throughout many of his buildings. Wright had a gift for the fine points and every building he designed brings to light his detail-oriented touch. Water features, light fixtures, planters, and built-in furniture were all uniquely created for each building, but all reveal the hand of Wright.Item The Research Sprint: Faculty as Learners in an Academic Library(2018-10) Galbraith, Nora; Hornick, Julie N.; Morgan, Marina; Schaad, Gerrianne; Wade, StevenTraditionally, FSC librarians have offered professional development to campus faculty. However, as attendance at the workshop fell, the sessions were canceled. To revive interest, we found inspiration in a summer program we offer – the Faculty Research Marathon – when the library is reserved for faculty research and writing. Supplementing the Marathon format with information useful for faculty, we rebranded our workshops as a Research Sprint, with each session providing focused work time after a brief presentation about library resources. The PDI was successfully implemented, and sign-up numbers were high. Feedback was positive, with suggestions including a library tour for new faculty, handouts, and shortening the presentation time. Participants also requested resources to help track research and information on leveraging social media for research sharing.
