Thanks to WebJunction and the Wyoming State Library for another great round-up of free webinars for the month of November!

With the holiday season approaching, this month's list of free webinars is a bit shorter, but still packed with learning topics for your entire staff. It's a great time to take inventory of learning gaps or opportunities, and to get a head start on your new year's resolutions. And if your plate's too full right now, know that many of the sessions will be made available as archives, so you can revisit topics, alone or with others, when the time is right for you. Take inventory with everyone on your team, staff and volunteers, and consider dividing up topics and then share that learning back with the full group, to grow the knowledge of your learning organization.

This list comes out every month and is regularly updated on the Free Training<http://www.webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html> page.

For additional training, check out the WebJunction Catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/>, free and open to library staff and volunteers everywhere. Additional training resources can also be found at WebJunction: Competencies<http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/competencies.html>, Personal Growth and Development<http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/personal-growth-and-development.html>, and Resources for Learners<http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/for-learners.html>.
