Now it's even easier to spotlight libraries, colleagues, patrons, trustees, friends, or even great content—anyone or anything making a difference for libraries. |  | | New Tools for TechAtlas
TechAtlas for Libraries has released an exciting redesign of the technology planning tools offered in the software. These tools include easier to manage workflows for creating your library's mission, vision, goals, objectives and budget. Join us for a webinar on September 23 to explore these free resources. |
Keep Up-to-Date on New Site Features
We'll be sharing status updates on new features, functionality, and user experience enhancements in the Site Feature Updates area of Help & Support. Read what we're doing to improve user experience, or share your ideas in the Site Feature Requests Group. |
 Silver Surfers Online
Each issue we'll feature a WebJunction member or group and something they've contributed to the site. This month's featured member is Pamm Clements of Fort Collins Regional Library (CO).
Read about the Silver Surfers, a set of Internet skills classes she developed especially for seniors. You can rate, comment, or share a similar story from your own work. |
| | Improve Your Online Training with InSync
Starting in September, WebJunction will offer courses by InSync to help staff become successful online trainers.
These courses include Learn How to Learn Online and the Synchronous Learning Expert curriculum which consists of the Synchronous Facilitation Certificate, the Synchronous Design Certificate, and the Capstone Certificate. |
Rural and Small Libraries Update
It's September, and that means it's time for the annual Association for Rural and Small Library conference. Visit ARSL to register for the conference and review this year's program. And if you can't join us in Sacramento (September 19-21), visit us daily for highlights from the big show.
It's also time to think about tooting your own horn and submitting an application for The Best Small Library in America Award. Nomination guidelines are available in the rural resources area of the site. Applications are due November 3. |
