This three-part series is for anyone who works in a library at any level.

We encourage you to attend all three, but we welcome you attend whichever programs you can.
The Colorado State Library is pleased to announce a new online learning series, CSL In Session. The series is made up of free, hour-long virtual classes on a broad range of topics, delivered once a month. These won’t be your standard information-dump-style “webinars” – we’re planning interactive online classes where participation is central to the learning, and where learners go away with distinct takeaways that can be immediately applied in your libraries and in your professional lives.
We’re kicking off with:
Taking Off the Blinders: Customer Service Lessons from Other Industries
Wednesday, November 16 at 12:30 p.m.
Description: Be honest. How often do you look ONLY at other libraries for examples of customer service strategies and enhancements? This session will broaden your view, drawing together ideas, lessons and examples of customer service strategies from non-library industries and organizations. When it comes to brick-and-mortar and online services alike, libraries MUST look beyond their own backyards to ensure future success and to better serve their communities—or risk irrelevance.

I recently attended an excellent e-rate webinar presented by WebJunction. Even if you have applied for e-rate in the past, I would highly recommend viewing the archived webinar because there have been several changes to the e-rate process.
For instance, certified technology plans are only required for those seeking Priority 2 services. If you are applying for telecommunications or Internet access only, you are no longer required to submit a technology plan for certification. (Although no longer required for all libraries, technology planning is a crucial part of an organizations strategic planning, and highly recommended).

I attended a great webinar yesterday as the snow fell sponsored by WebJunction on Technology Planning with TechAtlas. TechAtlas is a free tool that libraries can use to develop and write technology plans. Public libraries applying for e-rate funds beyond basic telephone service are required to submit a technology plan. This hour-long webinar is a great introduction into technology planning. I highly recommend viewing the archived webinar.
Have other questions about technology plan requirements for e-rate? Visit the Colorado State Library online, or contact me (Christine Kreger) by phone (303-866-6946) or e-mail.
