Managing a Library Project

Learn the basic theories and practice of project management for library projects. Working on real-life projects of their own choosing, workshop participants will learn and practice the key concepts and techniques for planning, organizing, managing, and completing projects in a library setting. This workshop includes a combination of presentation, hands-on work, and discussion of questions and insights that attendees have over the course of the workshop.

Using simple, freely-available tools, attendees will leave the workshop with a project charter –- including a scope statement, deliverables, and milestones –- as well as a project plan specifying tasks on a timeline and assigned resources. 

Jennifer Vinopal

We will discuss issues related to organizational culture, including cross-departmental collaboration, communication techniques, and strategic planning. This workshop will also touch on related topics such as agile project management and portfolio management.

This workshop will be taught by Jennifer Vinopal, head of Digital Scholarship Services at New York University. Among other responsibilities at NYU, Vinopal is a project manager in NYU’s Digital Library Technology Services. Jennifer blogs about project management and other topics at http://vinopal.org
