New Monthly Spanish Outreach Webinar

We're excited to announce the launch of our new Spanish Outreach - In Depth webinar series (http://webjunction.org/do/Navigation?category=14186). Join us live online October 24th, 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST for our first webinar on Developing Spanish Language Collections. Because of the great work being done in your libraries, and because of your continued enthusiasm for serving the needs of Spanish speakers, we are launching this series to go more "in depth" into some of the methods and resources that are proving to transform the communities and libraries in which you serve. The series will be hosted by Amy J. Kearns (http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=12487#amy), one of our fantastic Round 1 trainers, and will feature experts who work to improve services to Spanish speakers. For more information on the series, visit Spanish Outreach - In Depth (http://webjunction.org/do/Navigation?category=14186) where you'll find a schedule of future sessions, instructions for joining the online meetings, eventual archives of the sessions, and related resources.

JCLC Conference 2006

WebJunction's SLO Team is in Dallas this week at the Joint Conference of Librarians of Color (http://www.ala.org/ala/olos/jointconferenceoflibrariansofcolor/jclc2006.htm). If you're there, be sure to come by and introduce yourself at Thursday's 2:45 session, "Spanish Language Outreach Program: Empowering Library Staff to meet the Information and Technology Needs of Spanish-Speaking Customers".
