    Asking for what you need: Why negotiation feels uncomfortable for library professionals
    (2024-02-05) Macy, Katharine V.
    This video covers the complex reasons why we as librarians may feel anxious over negotiating. It is the first video in the Introduction to Negotiations Lesson in the Foundations module of the curriculum developed as part of the ONEAL project (Open Negotiation Education for Academic Libraries). Note that this video focuses on existing research and specifically mentions the differences between men and women, as well as race and how existing attitudes is influences library work and negotiations. The current research is focused on cisgender experiences. This is a significant gap in scholarly literature. The ONEAL project desires to be inclusive of nonbinary and transgender experiences. If you would be willing to share your experience as a nonbinary or transgender person who negotiates in libraries through a research interview which would be anonymized, please reach out to: https://oneal-project.org/contact/

    Expand Your Collection Horizons with Negotiation Skill Development to Address Today and Tomorrow’s Challenges
    (2024-11-13) Macy, Katharine V.
    Learning negotiation skills allows library workers and vendors to have more productive conversations that create more options. This allows libraries to better meet their stakeholder needs while fostering a sustainable relationship with resource vendors. However, this is a skill set that is largely learned while on the job, or through continuing education opportunities that may be costly, and may not be library focused. In addition, many library workers feel anxiety around the process of negotiations. The IMLS funded ONEAL Project (Open Negotiation for Academic Libraries) wishes to empower library workers through an open online curriculum to teach these skills. This session will introduce the Foundations learning module launched in April as well as the brand-new Strategies module launching in Fall 2024 which dives deeper into strategies (setting priorities, vendor and internal stakeholder management, and contracts & licensing strategy). Library licensing rarely keeps up with technology and new directions in research, for which the project is developing modules to help address current hot topics, such as artificial intelligence and privacy/surveillance. Attendees will be provided with a list of available resources to support learning about and negotiating hot topics. This session will opportunities for discussion, including allowing the audience to share their own experiences around negotiations and what they find most challenging. Negotiation skill best practices introduced in the curriculum are widely applicable to all types of libraries.
