Notes from APA webinar 2/13/2020

• Use reference templates.
• Gov't agency= include the specific agency name
• 20 authors in ref, if 21 list the first 19  . . . last author
• 3 or more authors (in text) Martin et al.

Helpful Hints 

1. Document type: rely on that, it's how you cite.
2. Retrieval method does not matter.
3. Webpage = document type.   Websites and webpages category is your last resort.
4. Online and print references are identical. May not have a URL.
5. Cite what you see
6. 2 format patterns:
7. Adapting APA style

 http://crossref.org to find doi
Cite as: https://doi.org/

• Use links that work for readers (outside of your institution)
• Retrieval dates: Only for works designed to change and not archived (wikis, OERs, online dictionaries. (basically work that is not stable and may change)
• No author: Could be a nonprofit.  Look at "about us" or Author
•  Personal Communication -  does NOT go on the reference list
• Limited circulation you don't usually list the databases, but sometimes you might for things from ERIC or Proquest Theses

--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.

Reframe your emotions.
Look for the positives of people who :
Anxiety can cause heightened perceptions causes.
Narcissism

Value all emotions.

Management stress is contagious. 

Stay present. Be curious. Ask open-ended questions. Focus on your body and breathe. 

Don't make it about myself. Return the question to the patron and make it about them.

Design your perfect 2020: How to create powerful goals and stick to them

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?
Address the 3 circles of life:
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?
