<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#2E74B5"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are still a few openings left to participate in this week’s focus group. Please read on for more information:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">As most of you may recall, the State Library of Oregon has contracted with Infopeople to help us determine the continuing education/professional development (CE/PD) needs of the Oregon library community. Last
month library staff throughout Oregon had the opportunity to complete an online survey – this month we want to invite staff to participate in online focus groups to gather feedback from different audiences on priority training needs, developing trends, and
other continuing education-related concerns. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><b><span style="color:#2E75B6">Public library directors: November 16 (Thursday) at 10:00a
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The focus group will be held online using GoToMeeting and will take less than 45-minutes and should be fun!
<b>If you can attend, please RSVP to Brenda at <a href="mailto:brenda@infopeople.org">
brenda@infopeople.org</a> and indicate which focus group you will be attending. </b>
Brenda will follow-up and send you details about how to connect and <b>how to log in anonymously</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><i>Please note that participation is limited and depending on the number of responses, it may turn out that not everyone who RSVPs will be able to attend. If you’re interested, you’re encouraged to respond as
quickly as possible</i> <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span> <br>

Thanks in advance for considering our invitation to share your expertise! <o:p></o:p></p>
