From Amy:
The guest speaker, Ruth Riley, Director of the USC School of Medicine Library, made several points-
- When you're dealing with medical personnel it poses different parameters and the requirements provide additional separate revenue streams of research money from NIH and clinical income
- Different institutions offer different opportunities
- At USC, the less dominating bureaucracies attached to making staff changes and other changes allow for more independent decisions and autonomy
- Middle management/HR learning opportunities are better at larger institutions
- There is a trend now for directors to retire, which can create a political vacuum
From Tina:
"Knowing how to hold a good meeting is an art which requires practice and is a good skill to have." I think this is a really good point. The video provided good guidelines for holding a meeting.
You need:
- a strong moderator who plans effectively
- a clearly defined purpose
- the appropriate members participating
- a complete agenda
- agreed upon norms
- participation from all
- time limits
- informed input
- wrap-up of the meeting, agenda building for next time
