WebJunction

Being creative isn't just for kids! It can also put the sparkle and shine in adult life. Innovative approaches and creative solutions are necessary in today's workplace, too. In a knowledge economy, ideas are gold.

 Do you want to reignite your creative spark? Consider joining the Kansas Creativity Group. If you would like to add to your creative toolbox, join now to participate in this fall fun.

 Together we'll work through a WebJunction course Generating Creative and Innovative Ideas. Brainstorming, role-playing, analogies, and creativity from conflict - it's all here! We'll also tour some creative endeavors in the library world and dissect the methods behind the madness of some of the library-world's greatest minds. Each participant in this endeavor will not only get in touch with his or her inner muse, but will also develop a concrete plan for innovative action.  Visit Kansas Creativity Program Details for more information about project criteria for continuing education (contact hours) credit.

 The cost for all of this? FREE to WebJunction Kansas members. (Thanks to generous support from the State Library of Kansas, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and WebJunction). Ready to take the leap into a more creative future?
