<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Tuesday, June 8, 9:00 - 4:00</FONT><BR>
<FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Portland Community College, Sylvania Campus Library, Room 212</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><BR>
</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">12000 S.W. 49th Avenue</FONT><BR>
<FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Portland, OR 97219</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing L-net's chat and email service. Librarians will receive hands-on training with L-net’s chat software, e-mail software, and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference services online.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are two ways to get involved with staffing L-net:</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2 - Volunteers: If you have reference experience, you may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff L-net at a partner library or as a volunteer.</FONT></P>
