Professional Development Committee (PDC)

The PDC staffed a table in the OLC Connects! area at the 2019 Convention and Expo where they proudly shared the updated Ohio Public Library Core Competencies. They also promoted OLC’s certification programs and explained how programs can be submitted to the OLC for consideration. They also hosted the Certification Luncheon with guest speaker Charis Waibel, Head of Wardrobe Design for Kings Island Amusements in Cincinnati. She discussed the detailed research that is conducted for the development of period costumes and set designs. She indicated that the library is often times a resource for the research.

Several members of the PDC met with the incoming members of the PDC for orientation on Oct. 10. One third of the committee members fulfill their terms at the end of 2019 so the new members needed to be given instructions as to their role – especially as they would be attending the Leadership Conference.

The PDC met at the OLC Leadership Conference. They met with the divisions and committees for which they serve as liaisons. The results of programming from the Convention and Expo have been added to the history database that the PDC continues to maintain. The PDC’s next meeting is confirmed for Feb. 11.

On-Demand Education Committee (ODEC)

The committee met on Sept. 4 to strategize their work at the Leadership Conference where they worked with divisions and committees on their three primary goals.

1) A mentoring program will be established and closely monitored by the ODEC

2) “Top Hits List” – Invite presenters from some of the most popular and highly-rated programming from the previous year to do a webinar of the program. This programming will then be promoted as on-demand education on the OLC website.

3) Curated lists of on-demand programming submitted by divisions and committees.
