If your resolution is to have a positive outlook in 2012, there is a great webinar for you!  This free webinar is titled The Hopeful Workplace and is  offered via the Infopeople website.

Here is their description:

There’s a fair amount of doom and gloom out in library land, but futurist Joan Frye Williams and strategist George Needham are having none of it! These passionate library advocates believe that dealing with desperate economic times need not make us desperate.

In this upbeat webinar, George and Joan will explore how we can get out of the rat race that says “do more with less” and shift our focus to hope-engendering ways to “do different with less.” They’ll offer practical techniques for improving your own job satisfaction and moving your organization in a more positive direction.

It will be held on January 17 at 2:00pm.  Registration is not required.

Clifford Lynch, Ph.D., Executive Director for the Coalition for Networked Information at the National Library of Medicine will be presenting a 90 minute seminar on the future of biomedical libraries.

The live webinar will be held December 16, at 9:00 CST.  Visit the NIH site to login.
