October 31 - November 2
Hilton Greenville, Greenville, SC
Call to Conference: South Carolina Library Association
& Southeastern Library Association Joint Conference
The South Carolina Library Association and the Southeastern Library Association invites all library professionals, paraprofessionals,
students, vendors, and friends to our 2018 Annual Conference in Greenville on October 31-November 2 at the Hilton Greenville.
This year’s conference theme is "Illuminating the Future!" The focus is on highlighting the bright future of libraries, and how libraries
are at the center of the future of the communities they serve.
The 2018 SCLA Conference Kicks Off With Two Pre-Conferences
Light Bulb Moment: Services to Entrepreneurs of All Ages (Wednesday, October
31st, 9:00 a.m. - Noon)
The light bulb has long been a symbol for a great idea. Indeed, the words “light bulb moment” are often used to describe that very instant
frozen in time when a person has a moment of clarity, or has dreamed up a fantastic new invention.
But what do you do with an idea? How do you nurture it? Join us for the Light Bulb Moment Pre‐Conference,
sponsored by the STEM Interest Group, to learn how to assist entrepreneurs to take their idea to the next level. The session will delve into the four types of intellectual property, give in‐depth
information about trademarks, and give state and local resources available for libraries, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. (Jan Comfort & Meredith Futral)
Addressing Dysfunction and Incorporating Self‐Care
for Library Staff (Wednesday, October 31st, 9:00 a.m. - Noon)
Concepts from the authors' book, The Dysfunctional Library, will be the focus for the first half ̀ of the interactive session. Topics
include workplace incivility, toxic behaviors, conflict, and weak leadership. The team will also introduce a variety of solutions to shape a positive and productive library work environment.
The second half of the session will focus on concepts from the authors' book, The Mindful Librarian. Participants will be introduced
to the basic principles of mindfulness and discover the multitude of ways that mindful practice can improve the specific work librarians do, from reference services to workplace relationships to goal‐setting
and much more. Ideas for dealing with stress and burnout will be discussed and participants will receive multiple suggestions and resources to gain deeper knowledge on the topic in the future. (Richard Moniz, Jo Henry, Joe Eshleman)
