OhioNet Training Update – new events added for 2023!

The calendar year is winding down and we’re wrapping up our presentations for 2022 over the next few days. For directors and managers, we have a webinar on creating sustainable copyright policies that work for your library and your community on 12/13. If you’re looking for hands-on practice assessing and modifying subject headings, sign up today for our live learning event (LLE) on 12/14. Please note that real-time attendance is required for LLEs and they are not available in the Training Archive.

After a few weeks off for the holiday season, we’ll be right back at it with new events—including the return of more in-person workshops! Join us on 3/22 at our new location on Polaris Parkway for the Bias and Micro Messages workshop where attendees will learn how their own identities shape their experiences and impact their interactions with others. Or register today for our next in-person Conversations Worth Having for Library Leaders event on 6/7 to explore how effective communications are key to strong relationships and high performing teams. Can’t make it to an in-person event? We’re offering Conversations Worth Having for Library Leaders as an online live learning series beginning on 2/2.

Finally, in response to your feedback, we’ve just added two new advanced webinars for those looking for more in-depth advice on copyright issues for digitization projects and for interlibrary loan services. Registrants should review the pre-requisite archived sessions listed on each event description page. As always, you can visit our training page for a full listing of all our upcoming professional development and continuing education opportunities.
