WebJunction is always looking for new partners to provide our members with the best possible learning opportunities and I am excited to announce a partnership with University of North Texas to offer their LE@D courses! These courses are designed just for library staff – look at the great topics covered:

Library Privacy & Confidentiality
Managing Difficult Patrons with Confidence!
Providing Excellent Customer Service in a Multi-Cultural Environment
Copyright Basics for Libraries
Improving Your Communications Skills
An Overview of RFID Technology
Reaching Teenagers
Using Databases
Harnessing the Internet
Improving Co-Worker Relationships
Info-Age Etiquette
Nutrition Information: Saturate Your Knowledge, Not Your Fat Intake
Grant Writing Basics
Volunteers: Recruitment, Development, and Supervision

These courses will be facilitated by the University of North Texas until September. This facilitation will take place as you go through the course at your own pace. UNT’s facilitation involves having a UNT graduate student or staff member participating in discussions and exchanges between students, answering posted or e-mailed questions about the use of WebCT, and posting recommended external resources related to course topics.
