OCLC WebJunction webinars

As if you couldn't get enough free learning opportunities in this week's blog, here's one more!

OCLC WebJunction is hosting a potpourri of webinars each week in February that may be of interest to you:

Feb. 7th:  Self-Directed Achievement:  if you give library staff an hour:  This webinar shares how staff at the Tooele City Library implemented a "Self-Directed Achievement" model for staff development.  "Set one training goal each week achievable in one hour." This simple directive was given to every staff member of one Utah library in September 2011. The result just one year later? A sustainable, positive culture transformation.

Feb. 13th:  How Libraries can meet the evolving needs of patrons in the digital age:
A webinar presenting research from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, providing insight on what types of services Americans value in their library and what types of services they would like to see their library start to offer.

Feb. 27th:  The future of online learning: a changing landscape:
Join us as we explore what education innovators are doing to increase engagement through learner-centered discovery, flipped classrooms, and enhanced online learning.

All presentations start at noon.  More information and registration is here.

(Oh, did I mention WebJunction also has a page of free CE opportunities from a host of organizations around the country?  Some past presentations may or may not be archived; it looks like it's really dependent on the hosting organization and if they choose to make the webinar available after its live date.  Still, it's a great resource to check to see when future webinars will air.)
