ACRL Chapters Council

At first, I was going to email Megan Griffin about this, but thought others might have a similar question:

In Kentucky, we are in the process of reviewing/updating some of our chapter's documentation. This is where we first came across the two free webcasts that we can get for our members each year, but we do not have any information on how to set those up. 

Do we request a coupon code for these from someone?

On a side note, thank you all for hosting a great ACRL Chapters Council meeting last week! That my first one, and questions I had coming in were answered before I even asked them 🙂

Thank you!
