Hello everyone,
Just a quick announcement that registration for the 2023 Edge Learning Cohorts has been extended to Friday, January 20th. Reserve your spot<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfD7G8DLAH8ltziSvqafJogyCRL3peRryiRlwWhtzO8jdwN6Q/viewform> in one or both of these cohort tracks today! Read on for more information:
The State Library of Oregon invites you to participate in a new peer-learning program from January 2023 to May 2023. This program is designed to build capacity and skill to collect, analyze and communicate data and demonstrate the vital role of public libraries in advancing digital equity in their communities.
Participation is free for public library staff in Oregon - and multiple staff members from your library can participate!
You can participate in one or both cohorts:
* Digital Equity Cohort: This peer-learning cohort will support library staff in deepening their understanding of data and data-informed decision-making. Libraries will attend a series of workshops over a six-month period. The series includes an introduction to data fluency, collecting, understanding, and using community, library and program data, and communicating data. Libraries will be presented with an opportunity to use other Edge features later in the program.
Participants will have access to the new Edge 360 assessment and those that successfully complete this cohort will have the opportunity to apply for a small grant (up to $5,000 per library). Up to ten libraries will be awarded a grant to support implementation of a project designed during the cohort.
You can view sessions dates here<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/conted/edgecohorts2023#s-lib-ctab-27557546-0>.
* Data Fluency Cohort: This peer-learning cohort will support library staff in measuring and planning digital equity programs and services. Libraries will attend a series of workshops every three week for a total of 6 sessions. The series includes defining digital equity, understanding broadband access, determining device access and assessing digital literacy.
You can view sessions dates here<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/conted/edgecohorts2023#s-lib-ctab-27557546-1>.
