*FREE!* 09/18/13 Answerland Training<http://nwcentral.org/answerland-training-0>
Answerland is Oregon's statewide virtual reference service -
http://www.answerland.org.

This training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing
Answerland's chat, e-mail, and texting service. Librarians will receive
hands-on training with Answerland’s software and instruction on techniques
for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference
service online.

There are two ways to staff Answerland:

1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries are welcome to
staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the
service at their libraries.

2 - Volunteers: Anyone who has completed a Reference class in the past 10
years from an ALA-accredited college or university or has experience
providing reference services in a library may apply to be a volunteer.
Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would
like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information
about how to apply to be a volunteer.

If you’re interested in the training, but unable to attend on this date,
please contact me. I'm continuing to schedule additional trainings around
the state.

The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is
required.

09/20/13 Mobile Devices: Gateway to Your
Library<http://nwcentral.org/mobile-devices-gateway-your-library>

Join information professionals from around the world, and interact with
library leaders and experts in the field. Hear about solutions and
strategies for training staff and providing services to mobile device users.
