Infopeople Webcasts: New Management Training Series

Stay current the easy way! Attend one of Infopeople's free hour-long webcasts on topics of vital interest to library staff. Webcasts are one of the many innovative ways Infopeople delivers top quality training to you. Here's a list of upcoming webcasts that you can attend while they are happening. When you attend a live event, you can post questions to the speaker and chat with other participants during the presentation. Archived Webcasts are recordings of the live webcasts and can be viewed at any time (but, of course, you can't ask questions or chat). Infopeople's funding limits attendance at live webcasts to anyone in the California library community. If you are outside California please do not attend the live event. However, you are welcome to see the archived version the day following the webcast. Check our archive listing at:
