This is a library focussed series of workshops, seminars, audio connections, networking and on-line edcuation opportunities. It is a new era in library education and one that we want to invite you to be a part of. It is our goal that an undertaking of this size can benefit all library practitioners no matter where they are living and working. The four words we are using to describe THE LEARNING SPACE are: Inspiration, Expertise, Flexibility and Value. Consider these virtues when you are making a decision about bettering your credentials through training. OLA recognizes that you are not in Ontario and attending in-person workshops/seminars is difficult if not impossible, but we have devised a series of programs you can participate in from the comfort of your office or home. Your affiliation with your provincial library association will ensure you get member rates. Please read on and we will tell you more about what is available. For a complete catalogue of education opportunities.
