Making the Most of Your Digital Collection
Thursday, February 13, 2020

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (Eastern Time) Show in My Timezone
You’ve invested time, thought, and budget dollars to create an amazing
collection of materials for your teachers and students, but perhaps you’ve
found that the digital portion of your resources don’t always get the
attention they deserve. Research has shown that eBooks and audiobooks
circulate more when librarians follow a clear plan to promote them in the
school community. Join this webinar to learn creative and effective
strategies for spreading the word about your digital collection and make
sure those great resources get used!

*During this webinar participants will learn:*

   - Strategies and tools for making the digital collection visible and
   accessible
   - Approaches to engage and empower all members of your school
   community—both students and staff members—to be active users of the eBook
   and audiobook collection
   - How to differentiate utilizing digital resources in order to meet the
   needs of all learners
   - Recent research illuminating the factors that impact eBook usage in
   K-12 schools

Thank you to our webinar sponsor, OverDrive Education!
