A culture of learning for your library

Speaking of Lori Reed, she will be sharing her expertise in a WebJunction Learning Webinar on Cultivating a Culture of Learning in the Library. I like the sound of that. Her topic extends the thread of discussion on this blog about training and informal learning and a focus on outcomes. Lori will explore:

• The differences between training and learning
• The benefits to libraries for creating a culture of learning
• The key elements of a learning organization
• Tips for creating a culture of learning in any size library

Webinar details

• Date & time: Tuesday, July 10, 11 AM PDT/ 2 PM EDT
