Continuing Education in an Online Era

Edit: Transcript at http://bit.ly/V7R6wy 


What online continuing education (CE) opportunities are you pursuing these days? Are they meeting your/your career's needs? Why or why not? Have things changed for what we need from CE to hit the ground running now compared to the past? Inspired by Nikki's thoughts along these lines that she may or may not be able to pull her act together and write about on Tuesday night, and it sounds like Sally has some thoughts along these lines as well.

Come to the Thursday, November 29, 2012 #medlibs chat at 6pm Pacific/9 Eastern as we explore more along these lines.

Curated Storify 

We are all at different kinds of libraries and have different groups we serve. But when disaster strikes, we have one thing in common – we have the skills necessary to meet the information needs of those groups.

Come to the Thursday, November 8, 2012 #medlibs chat at 6pm Pacific/9 Eastern to share how you've assisted those you serve. The National Library of Medicine Disaster Information Management Research Center (@NLM_DIMRC) will be joining in on the conversation! You may want to review last week's chat which focused on emergency preparedness for libraries, or our brand new condensed Storify coverage of it, and our thoughts continue to be with libraries affected by Hurricane Sandy.
