Spring is technology season at NMRLS! Watch for an array of computer software and technology workshops that are new to the NMRLS Continuing Education Program. If you can't get out of your library, you'll find virtual opportunities as well. Training locations will be around the Region so that we can reach the most staff.

These workshops/opportunities below are all funded through a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant to the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners mblc.state.ma.us/mblc/publications/newsletter/2004/23_2/gates.php

WebJunction Online Learning is Here! WebJunction provides an extensive list of online workshops. WebJunction is a cooperative effort between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and OCLC.
