Using Consultants in a Library Environment:

Bill Schroer will be the featured presenter at a full day seminar on Using Consultants in the Library environment!

More libraries are now counting on support from consulting firms for technology, marketing, research, space planning, archictectural and all kinds of essential services. Make your work with consultants more enjoyable, productive and efficient. Attend this seminar and make your experiences with consultants positive from the very beginning.

Learn:

  • How to look for, evaluate and select the right consultant
  • What you get in large consulting firms vs. small firms
  • Negotiating the deliverables, price, timing and contingencies
  • Ongoing communications, maintaining understanding, anticipating bumps in the road
  • What to do when things go wrong
  • Traditional problem areas in consulting relationships and potential fixes
This workshop will include not only Bill Schroer’s presentation and discussion based on his 17 years of consulting with a broad array of libraries, public schools, colleges and other non-profit organizations but also include a panel of library leaders who along with Bill will be discussing their experiences with consultants. The Ann Arbor District Library is hosting this entertaining and informative workshop. This one-day seminar will be held on May 7, 2004.

Library directors, trustees and senior staff who work with consulting firms should consider attending. For more details please review the attached file (place the link here for the application) or contact Bill Schroer at bschroer@socialmarketing.org
