If you'd like to talk with CARLI staff and your CARLI library colleagues about Alma Fulfillment and Automated Fulfillment Network workflows, known issues, and Q & A, join us online on Tuesday, September 21 from 10:30am-noon central.

Sessions are scheduled for every other week, alternating between Tuesday mornings at 10:30am and Friday afternoons at 2pm.

CARLI Office Staff will be online to work with your questions and to facilitate the discussion.

This session will be recorded for CARLI staff use; since Fulfillment involves patron data, the CARLI office will evaluate if it is fitting and valuable to post segments of the session for later review.

To register: Select the Register tab at the top of this page.
Connection information will be sent to registrants the day before.

Additional sessions of "Let's talk about Fulfillment (I mean Alma, not life's purpose)" are scheduled/have occurred.
Please register for future sessions if interested, or review past sessions for the discussion notes. All sessions are listed on the CARLI Event Calendar.

TikTok is a popular social media app that allows users to create and share short, bite-size videos. While teenagers and young adults have made up the vanguard user group of this platform since its start in 2017, millennials and older generations have increasingly joined the app in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially known for its viral dance crazes and lip syncing challenges, TikTok has grown to become a rich community space for knowledge and skill sharing.

TikTok is a ready medium for librarians to create virtual content and reach younger generations where they are at. This presentation will share how one academic librarian uses TikTok to fight misinformation by teaching digital media literacy skills. The presenter will also provide a short tour of the app, share how to create your first video, and showcase how other librarians have creatively used this app to engage their communities.

Natalie Ornat is the Humanities Librarian and an associate professor at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Natalie holds an MSLS from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and a BA in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She served as a 2019 American Library Association Emerging Leader and a 2012 Teach For America corps member.

Develop leadership at every level of your library after hearing the experiences of two veterans in the field in this practical and inspiring session. Former library director Maxine Bleiweis found ways to open up opportunities to all staff members through daily practices that helped staff become their best and step forward in the library, the community and the profession. Kate Byroade went from shelver to library director to statewide leader with the encouragement of wise supervisors and an adventuresome spirit. You’ll come away with ideas to put immediately into action and a plan for a longer strategy.    

Kate Byroade is the director of the Cragin Memorial Library in Colchester, CT. She is a Past President of the Connecticut Library Association and has done just about every library task over the course of her 36-year library career.
