Remember to save the date for the Enhancing Quality Staff (EQS) Symposium coming up on May 18, 2023. EQS will be held at Coffman Memorial Union on the University of Minnesota's beautiful east bank in Minneapolis from 8:00am - 4:30pm.  Registration will be opening soon! 

The University of Minnesota Libraries' Enhancing Quality Staff Symposium provides a forum for library paraprofessional and support staff to learn about a range of timely professional topics, share ideas and experiences with peers, enhance skills with continuing education, and work toward personal wellbeing. 

Attendees choose from among more than 20 sessions throughout the day. Sessions are usually one hour in length, but we also have a limited number of two-hour sessions.

This year's sessions include: 

  • What's so special about special collections?
  • eLibrary Minnesota: Online resources for reference, research, and learning
  • Ebooks Minnesota: Thousands of books for all Minnesotan's
  • Trends in Fraud and Identity Theft: A Perfect Storm
  • Book Speed Dating
  • Your Role in Creating Minnesota's Digital Equity Plan
  • Vibe Check: A Trauma-informed approach to Library Work
  • Great People Skills to Change Your Life
  • and many more!!

If you have a proposal you would like to submit - it's not toolate! Submit your proposal via our Google Form.

Would you like to have a professional table set up? Join St Kate's and Minitex! You can have the table manned or just have some swag and information set up for attendees to peruse on their own between sessions. There is limited space, so reach out and let Dana Kocienda know at kocie002@umn.edu as soon as possible.

Thank you on behalf of the EQS Committee!
