Are you involved in writing, implementing, and assessing operational library policies? If so, join us on Wednesday, February 10, 1pm CT to enhance your skills with this webinar "Assessing and (Re)Writing Operational Policies."

This webinar presents a high-level introduction to operational policies, why they need to be assessed on a regular basis, one way of assessment using the 5 W's (who, what, where, when, and why) approach, and the basics of writing or rewriting operational policies. The primary audience for this webinar is librarians, library staff, and library governing and advisory boards responsible for writing, implementing, and assessing operational policies.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Understand what operational policies are and are not.
• Realize the importance of regularly assessing and revising them.
• Know the steps and timeline for assessment and revision.
• Know the steps for writing or revising operational policies.
• Identify ways to recognize poorly written operational policies.
