Special Edition: Skills Training at Home
 
 
Whether you provide readers' advisory in person or online, it's important to keep your skills sharp. Check out these professional development opportunities you can complete at home.
 
Training from NoveList
 
Mark your calendar for "Great Reads for Not-So-Great-Times," Thursday, April 23. It's one of a series of webinars EBSCO is offering to librarians worldwide to help them support the online needs of their communities. 
 
Join our panel of readers’ advisory experts from public libraries for a special webinar on Wednesday, April 29 on how to implement form-based personalized reading recommendations at your library, no matter how large or small your system. You’ll also get tips on how to promote your collection digitally through email, social media, and on your website. 
 
Take a crash course on genres you love and a few you might not know so well with these popular webinars available to view on demand from NoveList and LibraryReads. 
 
We've also heard from many libraries looking for more in-depth professional development for their staff. You can hire a NoveList expert to lead a training that staff can do remotely. To get the conversation started, email novelistservices@ebsco.com.
