Professional Development Opportunities

If you hear about a professional development opprotunity that interests you (webinar, eCourse,...), please send an email to profdev@lib.de.us.  There is a good possibility that others are interested as well, so DDL may be able to arrange for a group viewing of a webinar, group participation in an eCourse, etc.  DDL is usually able to pay any associated fees.

Professional Development Collection

Frustrated because you see a book you would like to purchase from ALA but it's too expensive?  Well, worry no more!  DDL has a budget for professional development materials, so if you see something you'd like to order (from ALA or elsewhere), just send an email with the details to events@lib.de.us, and we'll be happy to order it.  The item will be placed in the floating collection so it will be available to all.
