Training!

I've got my degree, but that doesn't mean I can stop learning. Below are some resources for online (and otherwise) learning.
  • INFOPEOPLE! (ok, they don't really all caps their name, but I love this resource) Based in CA, but webinars and online classes are open to anyone and they are affordable. Anyone can register.
  • WebJunction. A service by OCLC. Webinars, and self-paced courses. Webinars (archived and upcoming) are free, but the actual courses require sponsorship through a library and they only support certain states. Ask your library system for access.
  • ALA's eLearning. These you pay for. Sign up at the ALA Store, which also sells books for professional development.
  • And then, of course, there are the various resources offered by the (state) library associations, such as their conferences and continuing education. 
  • My School and other iSchool continuing education classes/ professional development and certificate courses.
  • Cool Professional Journals such as Reference & User Services Quarterly and Library Technology Reports.
