<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>At
the OLA Support Staff Division Conference on Friday we learned that the
national Library Support Staff Certification Program is soon to enter into a
pilot project evaluation phase. Highline Community College is one of the approved
education providers for the LSSCP. The reference class listed below will
satisfy the LSSCP’s competency set in reference. In this evaluation phase
staff who think they will be going after the LSSCP certification would only pay
$250 to enroll for certification in contrast to the expected fee of $350 once
the program officially begins. In return for the reduced price students would
commit to giving feedback about the reference course and answering some
evaluation surveys. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>After
paying the LSSCP enrollment fee one has 4 years in which to complete six
competency sets. For more information about LSSCP go to the website at <a
href="http://www.ala-apa.org/lsscp">www.ala-apa.org/lsscp</a>. There will be a
method for gaining credit for experience through a portfolio system in addition
to taking classes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
