Workforce Recovery at the CAL Conference

Published by Michelle on October 25, 2011 in CAL, Continuing Education and General. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

On behalf of Sarah Koehn Frey, Director, Northern Saguache County Library District:

On October 13 I attended a preconference workshop at the CAL conference entitled “Project Compass:  Libraries at the Front Lines of Workforce Recovery”.  The presenter was Jennifer Pratt, who is the Chief of Library Development for the State Library of North Carolina.
