One of the membership requests coming from the Quint meeting in Denver last fall was to have a class or discussions on handling office politics.  In response to your request, we are starting a new book club discussion group.

The book club discussion group on the book "It's All Politics: Winning in a World Where Hard Work and Talent Aren't Enough" by Kathleen Kelly Reardon is starting on Tuesday, March 10.  The club will meet in Adobe Connect (web meeting.nih.gov/barb ) from 2-3 CT, 1-2 MT for four weeks ( March 10, 17, 24, 31).  The discussion will be led by Darell Schmick, Research Librarian at the Eccles Health Sciences Library, University of Utah and Barb Jones, Library Advocacy and Missouri Coordinator.

We all deal with politics in our jobs.  Some days it is a pleasant experience, other days it is like walking through a minefield.  Come join us and explore ways to handle political situations and position yourself and your library in a favorable light!   If you have any questions, please contact Barb Jones (jonesbarb@health.missouri.edu).

I hope to see you all there!
