[Libs-Or] NWCentral announces new look!

[COLE Maureen T]

Have you visited Northwest Central - lately?

Northwest Central, your community-driven clearinghouse for library continuing education, has been expanded and enhanced!  Thanks to an LSTA grant from the Oregon State Library, Northwest Central has been given a brand new look and an improved user experience by the professionals at Insite Web  Publishing<http://www.iwpi.com/> .

When you visit Northwest Central at http://nwcentral.org<http://nwcentral.org/>, you'll find lots of ways to learn.  Click the Events<http://nwcentral.org/?q=events> tab to find online and in-person trainings, conferences, and meetings in Oregon, Washington, and beyond.  The Resources<http://nwcentral.org/?q=resources> tab is your gateway to tutorials, presentations, handouts, web links and more on all sorts of library topics.  Try out the Speakers<http://nwcentral.org/?q=view/speakers> tab to find a local expert to invite to your library.

 Then, click the BIG red Join Now button, and become a member of this community of learners.  Post your events to the calendar and share your ideas and learning tools.  Northwest Central can help us all thrive as we share continuing education resources.

Northwest Central is helping OLA 2009<http://www.olaweb.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=74389> be a green conference!  Handouts and presentations will be posted on Northwest Central to prevent printout waste.

Northwest Central was developed with LSTA funds by PORTALS (now dissolved) and is currently supported by Portland Community College Library.  Questions or comments can be sent to admin at nwcentral.org<mailto:admin at nwcentral.org> or the Northwest Central Advisory Group member nearest you.
