<p class="MsoNormal">OhioNET’s popular CE series, Reference Skills & Resources, returns to our Training Calendar in 2017 with topics both new (Working with Wikipedia) and old (Unpacking Citations). We’ll again feature useful tools (freely available, whenever
possible) to help you help your patrons solve their information problems. In addition to basic resource descriptions and demonstrations, our sessions include suggestions for alternative information applications, like outreach through community-based projects,
and advice on where to find supplementary materials, like lesson-plans or case-studies. Check out these upcoming sessions in this series.<o:p></o:p></p>
