Basic Library Techniques in Reference

Friday October 2, 2009
9:00 AM until 4:00 PM

---

This day long reference event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Pittsfield. Presented by Belinda Boon of Kent State University, this training on reference resources, the reference interview, and reference with youth will count as 75% of the reference educational requirement that Directors in towns under 10,000 population without a Masters in Library Science degree must meet to maintain their library's certification with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. Participation in the Online Resources: Finding Full Text Articles and more! training on electronic resources provided through Gale and Newsbank will complete the reference requirement. WMRLS will provide several opportunities for librarians to receive this database training within FY09/10. Lunch will be provided to all participants.

Thank you to the Massachusetts Library Aid Association for funding this event.
