      abstract = {All libraries have meetings, but not all meetings are  productive. Unproductive meetings
are viewed as a waste of  time, resulting in low morale and a lack of progress  toward
organizational goals. As meetings are crucial to  setting goals, formulating policies,
removing barriers, and  completing projects, how can they be more efficient?

This  session attempts to answer that question by providing a  structure for improving
morale and enhancing communication,  leading to better results. It will also cover the
concept  of having different types of meetings for different goals.  Too often, organizations
use a “catch-all” approach to  meetings, leaving no one satisfied and slowing  progress
toward agreed-upon goals.

The ideas in this  session were tested in an actual library, and the steps  taken, feedback,
and lessons learned are discussed. This  organizational meeting restructure was based on
the book  "Death by Meeting" by Patrick Lencioni.},
