Site Closed

I have enjoyed providing this info for the past four years, but due to work and personal demands the site will no longer be updated. 

I won't leave you in the lurch. WebJunction works with Jamie Markus to do a
fabulous monthly listing of library webinars.  You are in good hands.


At its peak this site had over 1,200 unique visitors each month.  It was good to see that folks in our profession are lifelong learners.
