Hello!
I know we have a lot of webinar opportunities right now. My head of Circulation sent the following information to me and asked me to share it with all of you
if you are interested:
My very good friend worked for IMLS for several years before joining Legal Services Corporation. He and his team developed this course for OCLC. When we reopen there will
be a lot of patrons who are looking for help accessing legal services. I think this could be great for our librarians.
This course will cover
·
Understanding the role of public libraries in addressing the justice gap
·
Recognizing the difference between legal information and legal advice
·
Conducting the legal reference interview; addressing patron stress and anxiety
·
Reviewing and strengthening your library’s civil legal reference collection
·
