Spanish Language Outreach Update
August 2008
The Next WebJunction is launching soon!
he Next WebJunction – an entirely new platform for our community that includes new courses, easier content contribution, and new features for connecting more readily with your library colleagues is launching August 4th! Since last winter, we’ve been working hard with developers, designers, consultants, usability testers, and our partners to get the site ready. We invite you to visit the new site beginning August 4th, logon, and take it for a spin before we publicly announce the new features later in August. You’ll find a short video presentation on the new homepage that prompts you to login to the new WebJunction site and further complete your profile and affiliate with the Spanish Language Outreach Community. This will be your first step towards taking advantage of the new features and functionalities. Let us know what you think in the new site's Member Center.
Upcoming Webinar: Engaging with our new SLO Community of Practice
As we mentioned earlier, WebJunction.org is about to re-launch on an entirely new technology platform loaded with new features, a dramatically different design, and extensive improvements to all aspects of the community and learning experiences our member and partner communities have come to depend on. Join us August 12th to learn how these changes will benefit the Spanish Language Outreach Community of Practice from program coordinator, Laura Staley. Can't wait to learn more? Check out the archive (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=20427) of the July 1st WJ Public Preview of the new site..

Featured Resource: English-Spanish Medicare Library Outreach Toolkit
Libraries are an ideal place to promote healthy communities. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have developed an extensive toolkit to help librarians direct Medicare beneficiaries/seniors to the right place when they need help regarding Medicare issues. The toolkit provides resources in English and Spanish that help Medicare beneficiaries get the most out of their benefits and stay healthy. Download the toolkit here (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=20425).
