Library Website Usability Tools & Techniques: The Essentials
http://tinyurl.com/5j6jbg

1-hour Web Conference with Terry Nikkel - $109.95

Ask typical users where they begin their research, and nine out of 10  
will tell you they use the Internet, for example Google, Yahoo!, or  
Wikipedia. Maybe two out of 100 will say they use the library. Despite  
the abundance—and accuracy—of information available on library Web  
sites, users often discover quickly that they involve confusing terms  
and syntax, or convoluted navigation and search procedures.  This  
course will show how to turn confusing, unappealing Web sites into the  
kind of friendly, efficient information gateways that users will choose.



Friday, September 12, 1:00 pm ET, 10:00 am PT
Copyright Issues in Distance Education
http://tinyurl.com/6g2bdx

1-hour Audio Conference with Arlene Bielefield - $85.00

Copyright is an issue that has remained on the leading edge of  
information because of the amount currently available. The Internet,  
distance education, and continuing emergence of new technologies are  
only a few examples of influences causing librarians and educators to  
be wary about copyright matters. Copyright is further complicated by  
legal verbiage that perplexes many.  The complexity of copyright law  
as it applies to distance education is discussed in this session.


Monday, September 15, 3:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm, PT

1-hour Audio Conference with RoseMary Honnold - $85.00

No matter what your budget, space, or staff limitations are, you can

teens to build assets at your library, help build better relationships  
between staff and teens, and connect teens with the library  
collection. This session will give you five programming ideas with  
many variations to get you started.

1-hour Web Conference with Rosalind F. Dudden - $109.95

Knowledge Sharing in the Era of the Socially Networked Organization
http://tinyurl.com/5s7rhs

1-hour Audio Conference with Mary Cavanagh - $85.00

The networked organization of the 1990s was created by internet  
technologies; the socially networked organization of 2008 works  
through people to people knowledge and information relationships and  
Web 2.0 technologies. What strategies do you as information managers  
and information specialists need to know to build and leverage your  
own knowledge networks? What’s the most effective way to structure  
your ‘knowledge work’ in the socially networked information  
organization? How do our clients and customers participate in our  
information practices and networks? Join our public library  
practitioner and researcher as she addresses these interesting issues  
and challenges.
