<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Hello,</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Introductory training on L-net, Oregon's Statewide Virtual Reference Service, is scheduled for:</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Wednesday, <span>February </span>9, 9:00 - 4:30</font>
<br><font size="2" face="Arial">Eugene Public Library</font>
<br><font size="2" face="Arial">100 West 10th Ave.</font>
<br><font size="2" face="Arial">Eugene, Oregon 97401</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The training is for librarians who plan
to take shifts staffing L-net's chat, texting, and e-mail reference service.
Librarians will receive training on L-net's 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>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at
Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries.
Librarians at partner libraries 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>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Registration for this training will close on Sunday, February 6.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">If you're interested in the training, but
unable to attend on this date, please contact me. I'm continuing to
schedule additional trainings around the state.</font></p>
