[kids-lib] Upcoming professional development opportunities online

[Katie Anderson]

Hello! I just learned about the following online training opportunities in January - May sponsored by ALA's Association for Library Services to Children (ALSC).

"One of ALSC's goals to provide children’s librarians with timely, educational and affordable professional development opportunities.  Because life in a library moves fast, ALSC's webinars are the perfect solution for someone who wants and needs educational information but doesn't have a lot of time or resources.  These short (one to two hour) interactive sessions taking place in Adobe Connect give librarians and library support staff the opportunity to learn right at their desks.  The only necessary tools are a computer and the internet.  At $45 a session for ALSC members, $55 for non-members and $195 for groups, webinars are highly affordable, and because they're interactive, students get the benefit of sharing ideas with one another and networking from afar." --from the ALSC website<http://www.ala.org/alsc/edcareeers/profdevelopment/alscweb/webinars>.

Past webinars have been recorded and are available for only $25 at: http://www.ala.org/alsc/webinararchive
