Invitation for ACRL chapters: complimentary ACRL e-Learning webcasts

  • 1.  Invitation for ACRL chapters: complimentary ACRL e-Learning webcasts

    Posted Oct 28, 2021 11:20 AM

    Dear Chapter Council members,

     

    As you may know from Chapters Council discussions, we are continually exploring ways that ACRL can support the chapters. From membership surveys, we know that professional development is important to members of the academic and research library community and that members prefer local opportunities for professional development. One idea that consistently resonates is access to ACRL's e-learning events.

     

    ACRL is pleased to continue to offer each ACRL chapter complimentary access to two ACRL e-Learning webcast group registrations per year. We encourage your chapter to use this Webcast as an opportunity to engage chapter members in a face-to-face event. Offering a Webcast as a chapter event can expose members to new ideas and trends, foster discussion, and encourage networking among your chapter members.

     

    About ACRL e-Learning webcasts
    ACRL e-Learning webcasts are 60-90 minutes in length. Webcasts take place in an Adobe Connect online classroom and are designed to encourage interactivity and active learning. Technical requirements include a computer with an Internet connection and speakers. ACRL e-Learning webcasts are recorded and access to the archived recording will be provided a few days after the live event.

     

    Upcoming webcasts
    The current list of scheduled ACRL e-Learning webcasts is available online. Additional webcasts are continually added to the schedule.

     

    How to redeem your complimentary webcasts
    Your complimentary webcast registration can be redeemed for ACRL e-learning webcasts offered between October 1, 2021 – August 31, 2022. Review the webcast schedule and e-mail Margot Conahan at mconahan@ala.org with the name of the webcast(s) you want to participate in at least three business days before the live event. We will register your chapter for the webcast and send the log-in details to your chapter contact one business day prior to the live webcast. With your chapter's group registration, one person must login and keyboard during the event. Your group registration allows you to project the Webcast to participants in the same location, as well as up to six logins for remote viewing.

     

    We look forward to your participation. Thank you again for your contribution to ACRL and the profession!
