The NYS Library partners with OCLC to provide free access to WebJunction’s self-paced courses for all library workers, volunteers, and students in New York State.
The NYS Library has also designated WebJunction as an approved provider of professional development required to maintain active New York State public librarian certification. Access is free.
Here is a list of what library staff can find on the WebJunction website:
- WebJunction hosts many live webinar sessions throughout the year. Attendees are eligible to receive a certificate of attendance.
- A catalog of free self-paced courses and curated webinar archives has been developed in collaboration with LibraryU, Infopeople, and other content providers.
- Certificates of completion will be provided for courses finished or webinar archive viewed through the WebJunction catalog.
- Dozens of new articles on hot library topics written by WebJunction staff and library practitioners are published on a regular basis and highlighted on the WebJunction.org homepage.
