New Webinars and Courses Added to the WebJunction Catalog
The WebJunction Course Catalog provides free access to library-focused self-paced courses and webinar recordings. Through the generous support of OCLC and many state library agencies across the United States, WebJunction continues to provide timely and relevant learning content for you to access anytime, from anywhere.
In 2017, we added a lot of new and updated content to the catalog. You'll find fresh learning on topics including advocacy, organizational management, outreach and programming. You'll now find over 300 webinar recordings and courses produced by WebJunction or by one of our content collaborators including TechSoup, Infopeople, ALCTS and the Nebraska Library Commission. And with each course or webinar you view from the catalog, you will earn a certificate of completion.
