An online conference brought to you by: OCLC, WebJunction, CSL and CLC

Webinars can be great – they are convenient, easy, and save time and money. But some things are just better shared ... so why not participate in this OCLC-sponsored webinar at our collegial "Viewing Party"? This is a two-day event, so just choose the sessions that interest you and join us at the Middletown Library Service Center to watch and discuss with colleagues from Connecticut. CLC’s Technology Roundtable will be the hosts of the event, and Chairs Nancy Haag and Julie Lee will moderate a discussion of some of the sessions.

Light refreshments will be provided. Please bring a brown-bag lunch.
