[Libs-Or] CE Web Page, NW Central, is up!

Wed Jul 12 17:05:09 PDT 2006

The new web page for announcing continuing education opportunities in the
Northwest is up and running!  Try it, you'll like it!

Welcome to NW CENTRAL

 The NW Continuing Education Network of Training Resources 

For All Libraries.

The web site prototype is now available for you to use and explore at
www.nwcentral.org <http://www.nwcentral.org/> !  What is a prototype,
anyway?  According to Cambridge Dictionaries Online, a prototype is "the
first example of something . . . from which all later forms are developed."
It is your participation that will determine NW CENTRAL's later forms!

This site was developed by you, for you through an LSTA grant received by
the Portland Area Library System (PORTALS) in 2005.  PORTALS is now
sponsoring a pilot phase under the guidance of the NW CENTRAL Advisory
Group.  We need your help!  In fact, there are six things you can do right
now to move NW CENTRAL from a prototype to a robust web site that will
support the region's continuing education needs:

1.       Log on to www.nwcentral.org <http://www.nwcentral.org/>  and create
an account;

2.       Add information to the Events Calendar about an upcoming conference
or workshop;

3.       Add handouts, tutorials, and other interesting Content via file
upload or link;

4.       Add your name to the Speaker's Bureau and make your expertise
available to others, or recommend to someone else;

5.       Post a comment to one of the Discussion Forums;

6.       Search, browse, sign up for something, and have a good time while
providing us feedback to make the site even better!  Feedback may be
provided directly through the web site or by contacting your regional
Advisory Group Member.

Your NW CENTRAL 2006/07 Advisory Group Members want to hear from you:
