***Program Description****
>The code4libNYC SIG is pleased to welcome Eric Stedfeld and Jennifer Vinopal from NYU Libraries who will be presenting a program on project management for libraries on March 16th, 2010. The program details are:
>
>
>Title: Project Management for Digital Library Services
>Date: Tuesday, March, 16
>Time: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon
>Location: METRO Offices: 57th E. 11th St, New York, NY (4th Floor)
>
>
>Program Description: Practicing active project and portfolio management in creating products and services promises great rewards in improved communication, efficiency and productivity. The promised rewards can prove elusive, however, as attempts to standardize best practices across a department or institution can be stymied by resistance to change, differing needs, uneven experience, and a multitude of confusing tool choices. Attempting such an implementation can be daunting as it becomes difficult to know even where to begin.
>
>Eric Stedfeld and Jennifer Vinopal will share some of their experiences with project and portfolio management as it has been applied at New York University, especially in the digital library area of NYU Libraries. Eric will present a brief framework that puts general project management principles in context. He will then provide background on some project management initiatives in NYU's information technologies and digital library environments. Jennifer will bring things up to date with the digital library group's current evolving practice, extending to portfolio management across projects and services.
>
>Plenty of time will be provided for questions and discussion. Please RSVP to either Kevin Reiss ([log in to unmask]) or Joanna DiPasquale ([log in to unmask]) if you are planning to attend. There is no charge for this program.
