The ALA Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies seeks proposals for online course and webinars

The Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) seeks proposals for webinars through September 1, 2015.  ASCLA encourages subject matter experts and experienced librarians to submit proposals for webinars to be presented October 2014 through August 2015.

Deadlines: Proposals must be submitted by September 1, 2014 for presentation October 2014 through August 2015. Online courses and webinars submitted during this open call period will be reviewed and approved by September 15, 2015.

ASCLA welcomes proposals on topics that will assist its diverse membership in improved service delivery and job performance. ASCLA’s members represent libraries serving special populations, including library users with disabilities, and adults and youth who are incarcerated or detained; independent librarians and consultants; state library agencies and their employees, public libraries serving or working with the previously cited populations and institutions; and library networks and cooperatives. Staff of these libraries and agencies include librarians, library paraprofessionals, and library support staff.
