</p>
<p><font size="2">Introductory <span>training</span> on L-net, Oregon's Statewide Virtual Reference Service, is scheduled for:</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2">Friday March 11, 9:00 - 4:00<br>
</font><font size="2"><span>Deschutes</span> Public Library<br>
601 N.W. Wall Street<br>
Bend, OR 97701</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2">The <span>training</span> is for librarians who plan
to take shifts staffing L-net's chat, texting, and e-mail reference service.
Librarians will receive <span>training</span> 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">There are two ways to get involved with staffing L-net:</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2">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">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">The <span>training</span> 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 <span>or</span> as a volunteer.</font></p>

<p><font size="2">Registration for this <span>training</span> will close on Monday, March 7.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2">If you're interested in the <span>training</span>, but
unable to attend on this date, please contact me. I'm continuing to
schedule additional trainings around the state.</font></p>
