We Do That In Idaho

Ethics in Idaho
In my library we’ve been visiting SAA - Archivists Code of Ethics and the ALA Code of Ethics. Both are, of course, very similar. It’s the details that really matter. The best part is that because of them, we’ve made a lot of changes already, just by reviewing some procedures and policies.
WebJunction also offers a course on how to be a leader and use the code of ethics to become a more ethical librarian. How revolutionary!
Spanish Speaking in Idaho
So, I just graduated from iSchool at UW and have my MLIS and therefore I don’t ever need to learn anything ever again, right?
I know you could see the sarcasm bleeding right out of that sentence. The answer is: WRONG! So, I attended the Spanish Speakers outreach program hosted by the Idaho Commission for Libraries, and WebJunction and not only is this outreach plan basically the best thing I’ve ever used, but I’ve learned how to tackle some of the big subjects! It also made me exhausted because of how much I learned!
If you can’t attend a workshop, log on to WebJunction and go to Spanish Speaking Outreach. You can use the action plan for any user group. So awesome. Let’s go!
I also found via WebJunction some great resources for researching Hispanic American genealogy. For example, the finding aid for microfilm of border crossings from Mexico to the US 1903-1948.
