--Session 3: A New Discovery – Marketing Primo to Faculty and Students, by Rocco Cremonese (Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania)
The name "Discovery" didn't work very well.
In hindsight would have called it OneSearch or FindEverything
Use "student friendly" language
Used Libwizard to make a tutorial for Primo

Video tutorials are very hard to keep up to date because of the more frequent updates to Primo/Alma.

Notes from a webinar by Michael Hyatt
Lifescore assessment online quiz
1. Get specific about what I want.
Begin with the end in mind. Keep it personally meaningful? At the end of this year what do I want to have achieved? What will I regret not doing? What will matter most to me?

Circle of Being
Spiritual
Physical
Intellectual
Emotional
Circle of Relating
Marital
Parental
Social
Circle of Doing
Financial
Vocational
Avocational
Write down specific goals. 42% more likely to get them done.
Simple Step: Write a list of 7 to 10 goals I will pursue in the coming year.
2. Concentrate my effort on just a few goals.
When I write down 25 things I hope to accomplish, I just get overwhelmed.
Simple step: Get clear on 2 or 3 goals on which I'll focus for the first quarter of the year.
3. Aim for my discomfort zone. The things I really care about are going to take more effort to attain. Three zones in Goal setting: Comfort zone, discomfort zone, delusional zone. I want to be in the discomfort zone.
Simple Step: Make sure each of my goals is in the Discomfort Zone.
4. Keep track of my progress. Keep goals visible! Have a plan to view them daily, weekly, and monthly. as the saying goes: Out of sight, out of mind.
Simple step: Decide how I will track my goals.
5. Enlist the support I need. Only share my goals with those I believe are actively committed to helping me achieve them. Avoid overload
Simple Step: Find a supportive community to pursue goals with.

Eat that Frog
Eat
that Frog
1.
Decide exactly
what you want.
2.
Write it down.
3.
Set a deadline –
set sub deadlines if necessary.
4.
Make a list of
everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve
your goal.
5.
Organize the list
into a plan.
6.
Resolve to do
something every single day that moves you toward your major goal.
**Resist the temptation to clear up
small things first.
Develop
a compulsion to closure
1.
I actually feel
happier and more powerful when I start and a complete a task of any kind.
2.
I satisfy a deep
subconscious need to bring finality to a job or project.
3.
The sense of
completion or closure motivates me to start the next task or project and then
persist toward final completion.
4.
This act of
completion triggers the release of endorphins in my brain.
*When I am overwhelmed at starting a
project try the salami slice or swiss cheese method slice – layout the task in
detail and do just 1 slice. Swiss cheese
method: Work on a task for a specific amount of time, even just 5 to 10 minutes.
Do it now! Do it now!
Back to work! Back to work!
Self-discipline, self-master and
self-control are the basic building blocks of character and high
performance.
Prepare the workspace.
1.
Put only what I
need in front of me.
2.
Everything else
on the floor behind me.
3.
Carry myself as
though I am an efficient, effective, high-performing personality.
4.
The cleaner and
neater my work environment, the more positive, productive, and confident I
feel.
*What one career accomplishment would
have the greatest positive impact on my work life?
Develop
a positive mental attitude.
1.
Optimists look
for the good in every situation.
2.
Optimists always
seek the valuable lesson in every setback or difficulty.
3.
Optimists always
look for the solution to every problem.
Instead of blaming or complaining when things go wrong, they become
action-oriented.
4.
Optimists think
and talk continually about their goals.
Always look forward not backward.
*One of the best rules for dealing with
technology is to just “leave it off.”
**Leave your computer off until you have
planned and organized your day!
Apply
the Law of 3
*Three core tasks that I perform contain
the most of the value that I contribute to the College at Brockport/Drake
Memorial Library. If I could do one
thing on the list all day long, which 1 (2 then 3) would contribute the
greatest value?
