New software training!

Our new L-net software is ready and will be delivered to us very soon.

I've scheduled trainings around the state. My hope is to get most current L-net librarians trained during the last two weeks of August. We expect to start serving patrons with the new software September 15.

Training will include hands-on practice with the new chat software and the new email software.

I wanted to send out an announcement today so that you could all make adjustments in your schedules to attend training. Besides the trainings listed below, I expect to schedule trainings in Bend, Eugene, and Corvallis. There may be another Portland area training in addition to the ones listed below. I'll send out another announcement as soon as those are scheduled.

As soon as we get through this transition to new software, I expect to begin scheduling trainings for librarians new to L-net.

Some of the computer labs have limited space. If you'd like to attend one of these trainings, please contact me to register.

I'll be working away from the library Aug. 1 - 6 so I may be a little slow about returning messages, but I'll confirm registrations as soon as I can.
