We’re heading into a second week of double-header online WebJunction events and hope to see you there! This week’s Digitization and Preservation Symposium was attended by more than 500 people (!) and included the usual buzz of resource and idea sharing throughout. Be sure to review the archive and the questions and links gleaned from chat.
If you missed the first two sessions in the Libraries and Economic Development Series, you can still register for Tuesday’s final session, Going to Your Customer – Outreach and Strategic Partnerships, to learn how to boost your community’s economic development.
And if you’re involved in training of any sort, the second webinar next week is not to be missed. We have Emerging Leader Group N to thank for recruiting the Baltimore County Public Library Virtual Orientation Project for this webinar.
On Wednesday September 1, 2:00 Eastern, in collaboration with ALA Learning Roundtable we’re pleased to host Creating A Virtual Orientation for New Staff. 
Orienting new staff quickly to your organization is very important. A virtual orientation could be the key to a timely, comprehensive, standardized introduction to your library system. Discover advantages to implementing a virtual orientation for your workplace. Presenters Jean Mantegna, Sandy Lombardo, and Melissa Hepler have also shared their expertise in a recently published case study. Come join us on Wednesday if you want to hear how they planned, tested and implemented this exciting training project!
