Employees attending online webinars
by Kat Boyer 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Hello all, I've had some employees express interest in attending online webinars for library services and I was wondering how you all handle this. These webinars are during normal library scheduled hours. Do you have them submit a request for the webinar? Do you have to approve the webinar and make sure it is from an approved source? Do you allow them to watch these webinars while they are clocked in? If any of you all have a policy or procedure about this I'd love to see it.
