Get Ready for the Future Ready Toolkit

A team of SLA members and staff have collaborated to produce an extremely valuable deliverable for the SLA community. This group has taken the rich data gleaned from the SLA Alignment Project and translated it into a set of tried-and-true best practices that they have personally used to successfully meet professional challenges. The result is a new benefit of your SLA membership: The Future Ready Toolkit. These tools are focused and specific, and updated to include Web 2.0 technologies. Add to your own skillset by utilizing tools such as:
- Marketing and Branding Your Services
- 5 Ways to Use Social Media or Other Emerging Technologies in Your Job Search
- Build a Network to Engage and Partner with Stakeholders
- Planning, Writing, and Presenting a Budget
How to access the toolkit: Do you have a username and password in SLA's Wiki Spaces? If not, you'll have to sign up first (see link below). It takes a few seconds. Then, click on "Future Ready Toolkit" in the left-hand column, and start utilizing!

Want to learn more? Hear from the Toolkit coordinator, Amy Affelt, at the SLA Leadership Development Institute, Sunday, 7:30 a.m - 12 noon in Philadelphia at the SLA Annual Conference.
