It’s not too late to register for IRRT’s Preconference:
Training the Trainer: Keeping up and staying ahead of
new trends, standards, services and technologies
Friday, June 27, 2014
8:00 am- 1:00 pm
Location: Las Vegas Hotel - Ballroom F
The IRRT Preconference provides a forum for librarians interested in
international librarianship to discuss the current and future state of
librarianship. The library profession is constantly adjusting to new
technical developments, standards and innovative new services. Yet the
current fiscal climate can make it difficult for librarians and libraries to
invest in continuing training and professional development. Come and hear how
librarians around the world address professional development and continuing
education initiatives and strategies conducted by librarians for their
coworkers, organizations or the profession at large.
