Stronger Together: Negotiation Education for All

Abstract

Negotiation skills are a needed skillset for library workers to use within the workplace and in their personal lives. In the last year, the ONEAL project has developed an open educational resource that teaches negotiation skills. This panel session with the project team will discuss the project, the challenges of negotiating for BIPOC individuals, and walk through the curriculum. While the curriculum was created with the context of vendor negotiation at academic libraries in mind, there are lessons on best practices in negotiation strategy that are useful for all types of library workers in all libraries to use in their work and in their life!
