We have shared information about the webinar series our colleagues at Metronet have established – and it’s just wonderful! They have a series of speakers, talking about all sorts of different topics that are relevant to library staff of all type. Do yourself the favor of registering for all of their programs!
And next week, I’m slightly biased, because the speaker is me! As you know, we run two weekly podcasts here at CMLE: Reading With Libraries (a book group discussion of different genres) and Linking Our Libraries (with skills training for library staff). When one of these longer content podcasts drops on Thursdays, the other drops a short book recommendation on Tuesdays.
We have run these podcast for several years now, and have hundreds of episodes – all freely available to anyone. Subscribe to both today, in your favorite podcast app!
Check out next week’s Learnabout, and join me to talk about podcasting in your library!
