\nSpeaker: April Aultman Becker, Education Coordinator and Senior Librarian at the Research Medical Library, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center<\/p>\n

Workshop Goal: Much of the work librarians do involves creating flyers, displays, handouts, websites and other designs that look good and convey helpful information. Very few librarians have any kind of formal design training and often rely on personal aesthetic preferences along with the opinions and ideas of colleagues. The goal of this program is to empower librarians with basic principles, tools, and processes to begin to improve designs in their own libraries.<\/p>\n

Workshop Objectives:
\n\u2022 Learn about and view examples of basic design principles
\n\u2022 Identify processes used to create designs
\n\u2022 Explore practical design tools
\n\u2022 Demonstrate examples of successful design
\n\u2022 Practice revising a handout using the information provided in the webinar
\n\u2022 Discuss the importance of consistency in design across platforms
\n\u2022 Recommend favorite design resources<\/p>\n

Time: 11:00am – 12:30pm Pacific time
\nDate: Wednesday, September 25, 2013
\nLocation: Broadcast from your library<\/p>\n
