[Libs-Or] Update: Ryan Dowd's Online Training on Homelessness

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings everyone!

I have the following two updates regarding the online training on homelessness by Ryan Dowd:

First, in addition to being available to staff of Oregon libraries (academic, tribal, school, and public), this online, self-paced training is also available to Oregon library volunteers and board members. Access will be available through May 22, 2020 and learners may review / redo the self-paced training as many times as they like.

Second, I received the following announcement from Ryan Dowd today:

We re-filmed the entire library training.  The new version will be going live at some point this weekend or early next week.


If your library has a subscription for our online training and you are in the middle of the training, you will "lose your place" in the training.  You can still finish the training, but you will not be able to see which modules you have already completed.


By the way, the new training is MUCH better.  You should check it out!

See the following for the original announcement from May 23rd:

Access to Ryan Dowd's Training on Homelessness (an online, self-paced tutorial) is now available! You can follow the instructions below or view them online here: https://www.oregon.gov/Library/libraries/Pages/tutorial-registration.aspx

Please note that access to this tutorial IS limited to staff of Oregon libraries (academic, tribal, school, or public), library volunteers, and library board members. Access will be available through May 22, 2020 and participants can review / re-take the tutorial as many times as they like.
