Need to organize how you prepare your current, new, upgraded, or deselected electronic resources for the new fiscal year? Learn how to innovatively apply the principles of The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right and prepare a checklist to manage the myriad of tasks involved in this process. As a simple, but effective tool, a checklist will help you to make priorities clearer and prompt people to function better as a team.
The following questions are being provided to help prompt and facilitate discussion(s) especially for those virtual conference participants who are attenting as part of a larger group.
- Based on the description of how to prepare checklists following the principles of The Checklist Manifesto, how would you use checklists at your library and in which functional areas?
- Why do you think The Checklist Manifesto became such a huge bestseller?
- What are the downsides to using checklists and are there functional areas in your library where you think you would not be able to apply The Checklist Manifesto principles ?
