However, as this is currently impossible in the Czech Republic, she looked for different ways to work with her colleagues to provide accessible and quality care to women who demanded it.

They are becoming recognised among other professionals in their locality and...

Design of the library curriculum from A to Z
Škyřík, Petr
Tato přenáška je na pomezí designu služeb, managementu a vzdělávání. Rád bych v ní představil aplikovaný myšlenkový model, který uplatňuji při tvorbě knihovnického kurikula u nás na KISK. Domnívám se, že to může být poučně/inspirativní/odstrašující pro všechny, kteří řídí nějakou instituci či projekt. Pár klíčových pojmů: Analýza zájmových skupin, Benchlearning, Budování značky, Hodnotová analýza, Kaizen, Organický růst, Porucha paměti, atd. :)
