Hello again!

Web caching is a good thing and a bad thing ;^) One browser had the April listing and then I copied the list from a browser tab that still had the March list, oops! Here is the APRIL listing. Everything else: still applies! :-)

Greetings!

With the arrival of spring, and a new month of learning opportunities, it's time to prioritize from this list of April free, online training. With over 100 webinars covering 20 topic areas, you're sure to find something that aligns with your individual or organizational goals, or perhaps something to inspire and invigorate your outlook at work.

This list, provided by the Wyoming State Library, comes out every month and is regularly updated on the Free Training<http://www.webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html> page at WebJunction, where you can also view the offerings by topic. For additional training, check out the WebJunction Catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/>, free and open to library staff and volunteers everywhere.
