[OYAN] Professional Development: teen services, $19 Webinars-on-demand!

[Katie Anderson]

Looking for low-cost professional development around teen services?  ALA's Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) now offers previously recorded webinars on demand!  Webinars-on-Demand cost $19 per webinar or 3 for $49 to people who are not members of YALSA.  Those of you who are YALSA members-these webinars are free!

What is a Webinar-on Demand?  It's a previously recorded webinar that you can view on your computer whenever you want.  Since it is pre-recorded there are not opportunities to ask questions of the presenters or participate in the conversation.

Below are a few Webinars-on-Demand of particular interest, check out the full listing online at: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/onlinecourses/webinarsondemand.cfm

Do More with Less: Passive Programs

Keeping up programming in the face of budget cuts and staff reductions are challenges school and public librarians across the country are facing. Gregory Lum, Library Director at Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon and Sarah Ludwig, past Head of Teen and Technology Services at Darien Public Library in Darien, Connecticut and current Academic Technology Coordinator at Hamden Hall Country Day School led a conversation on budget friendly passive programs. Gregory and Sarah discussed how school and public librarians can plan, design and implement passive programs for their library. Participants in this webinar will learn about passive program ideas and how to turn passive programs into low-cost active programs. Program ideas discussed during the webinar will be posted to a wiki where participants can continue to discuss and share ideas.
