Course and Workshop Features:
"Everything in this course was exceptional. The speakers, moderators, and facilitators were professional, enthusiastic, and engaging. The content was relevant, informative, educational, and thought provoking. Thanks to virtual learning, I had the opportunity to listen to several charismatic speakers. The assigned coursework was helpful and provided guidance for me to better assess and analyze our library staffing hiring practices, programming, and collection with a more informed lens."
