May 5 (12-1 pm) / Choose Privacy 2014: Defense Against the Digital Dark Arts (American Library Association)
Dark forces conspire online to undermine privacy, compromise accounts, stalk, troll, and just plain creep us out.

Attend this special Choose Privacy Week webinar to learn more about how online surveillance works, get practical tips on improving privacy on public computers, and gain a better understanding of current legal threats to digital privacy and online anonymity.

May 6 (10-11 am) / Revive Your Middle Donors and Raise More Money (Network for Good)
Nonprofits are missing out on raising millions of dollars simply because they are overlooking one of their most committed and productive audiences, middle donors-the donors who give more than low-dollar, direct marketing donations, but less than what would qualify them for high-touch, major gift treatment. Join donor experts Alia McKee and Mark Rovner as they reveal the findings of Sea Change Strategies' recent study, The Missing Middle, and teach organizations how to boost fundraising through middle donor revitalization.

May 8 (11 am-12 pm) / Making Video More Social (InSync Training)
Since the first filmstrip projector made its way into the first classroom, standup trainers have been incorporating video into formal instruction. Used well, it can offered points for discussion, nudged thinking about what and why and comparison to that. It often made for good conversation and could reach the affective domain when other approaches did not. But when we moved to eLearning we left a lot of that behind: the video clips were uploaded, but the rest of that experience - the talking and processing - didn't make the transition. With so many new avenues for delivering video online it's a shame that we're not doing a better job of capturing the things a good instructor in a good face-to-face setting can bring.

Yet much of traditional practice remains important to providing quality information services to patrons. In this webinar, we will explore the balance between traditional and contemporary reference approaches, inviting you to join this open space conversation. What methods do you employ for reference today? What works? What doesn't? How does social media play a role?

May 8 (12-1 pm) / Young Children, New Media & Libraries (Infopeople)

May 13 (10 am-11 am) / Where's the GAP? Conducting a blended learning needs assessment (InSync Training)
As your organization starts to implement blended learning, conducting a thorough needs assessment becomes perhaps even more important than ever before. Blended learning requires investments in technology and training for your development and facilitation teams. Mistakes can be expensive, and may not be uncovered until after your program has been piloted. Because of these costs, organizations can't rely on proven assumptions about participants, training environments, or content. It's best to begin all of your analysis from scratch to make sure you get it right the first time.

May 15 (10-11 am) / An Introduction to the Digital Humanities for Librarians (University of Wisconsin)
In recent years, the term "digital humanities" has been used to describe modes of research, collaboration, and teaching that apply or analyze computational, digital, and networked tools in humanities contexts. The collaborative, project-focused, and technologically-oriented nature of the field means that information professionals often work alongside scholar-researchers and students. Academic, special, and public libraries and librarians have played important roles in the development of "dh." This webinar will provide an introduction to the digital humanities using examples of recent projects, and focus on how librarians can contribute to or support the digital humanities through, for example, maker spaces, digital labs and learning environments, or as managers of data and providers of digital resources.
