The Education Institute: New webinars for 2013! We're keeping our prices lowered! The Education Institute is a program of The Partnership, Canada's network of provincial and territorial library associations. Members of each association enjoy member rates on all EI Programming. **Member: $45 , non-member $55** note: We are migrating to a new web system so registration for 2013 webinars should be available within the next week or so.
