Join us online or in person each third Thursday of the month from 10-11 a.m. to hear from a guest speaker about an important or arising topic facing the library community.
All Third Thursday CE sessions will be streamed live, but participants who are also attending the IHLS Members Matter meeting are encouraged to attend both events in person at a rotating location.
This Month
Speakers: Anna Yackle and Leanne Furby
Session Description: Join Anna Yackle and Leanne Furby as they introduce you to iLEAD, the new statewide learning portal that gives Illinois public library trustees a path toward improving their leadership, engagement, access, and development. IHLS was awarded a grant to create a website portal to provide an interactive learning environment for trustees to make them aware of all their required duties and give them the knowledge and confidence to fulfill these duties. Find out how iLEAD uses games, quizzes, elements of AI, and rich content to enhance the experience for trustees as they explore several eight-to-ten-minute learning modules.
Funding for this project was awarded to Illinois Heartland Library System by the Illinois State Library, a Department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
At the end of the presentation, participants will know how to:
-
Access and use iLEAD.
-
Assist trustees in accessing and using iLEAD.
-
Propose topics to be added to the iLEAD curriculum.
There will be time for Q&A. The Zoom chat will be monitored by IHLS staff and participation is encouraged!
