College of DuPage Press
Library Learning Network: Teleconferences and workshops for library
staff and professionals
http://www.dupagepress.com/library-learning-network/
We’re on the move…
We are moving our teleconference production studios to a brand new facility.
The relocation of College of DuPage’s Multimedia Services department will
cause a brief interruption in teleconference production this fall. We are busy
planning the finest continuing education and professional development
programming to a nationwide community of library professionals for the
spring of 2012. Our new studio is well-equipped to bring you the same highquality programming you expect streamed directly to your facility.
Library Futures will return soon…
College of DuPage and the Library Learning Network are planning two Library
Futures teleconferences this season, beginning in 2012. Dates are yet to be
determined. Detailed information on those two programs will be posted as
soon as it is available. During this transition, the Library Futures staff is
carefully reviewing your feedback from last season in order to develop
programs that will be most beneficial to you.
Note: A site to watch for future staff development opportunities.
