WebJunction needs YOUR input about core library skills!

WebJunction and the Idaho Commission for Libraries need your help as they develop a new series of self-paced courses to teach core library competencies to library staff. They’re collecting feedback in a survey for all library staff about the foundational skills for your job and how you learned them. The survey has been designed with busy schedules in mind and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Please provide feedback by Friday, October 4.
