Free Online Learning for September (Webinars+)

September 10, 2024

Hi Folks,

I hope you are having a great start to the school year. 🏫

Here’s your monthly notice about webinars and more that are mostly related to school libraries.

Much of the information about this month’s webinars that are not specific to Oregon is available on this WebJunction page. Session descriptions and registration links are organized by date and are available starting about halfway down the WebJunction webpage. There’s also the State Library LibGuide about continuing education, which has a calendar of events. You are welcome to bookmark those pages. WebJunction is primarily updated at the beginning of each month, and the State Library’s continuing education calendar is updated weekly.

Short on time? You can scan the session information below for something that jumps out at you. Also, recall that many webinars will be recorded. 

Some opportunities may be of interest to classroom teachers and counselors, too. Questions? Please ask. 

Cheers,
Jen

[For archiving on the OSLIS website, I only kept information about webinars relating to OSLIS or the statewide databases. You can find a more complete list on the WebJunction page.]
