Critical Hit: Using Dungeons and Dragons for Training and Evaluation
This presentation distills Dungeons & Dragons down to its key concepts and shows you how they were implemented to track student employee progress, achieve goals, and build a closely connected team of adventure seekers and problem solvers. The presentation culminates in attendees filling out their own character sheet and working together as a group to solve a real life problem.

Oh, the Things You’ll Curate: Using LibGuides and LibWizard to Promote Collections and Track Success
Spreading the word about a new collection can be hard and tracking the success of social media posts and events can be even harder. Springshare makes it easy with their user-friendly tools and built in reporting capabilities. This session covers how to use LibGuides as a collection curation platform, leverage LibWizard to keep track of suggestions and checkout agreements, and using the reports built into those products to identify if events and social media posts are successful.
