[OPLINLIST] Upcoming Professional Development Classes

[Cheilon Mitchell]

Upcoming Workshops Offered by SERLS

 

Discover Learning Express Library

Learning Express Library is a comprehensive, interactive online learning
platform of practice tests and tutorial course series designed to help
patrons-students and adult learners-succeed on academic or licensing tests
such as the ACT, CIvil Service Exam or Real Estate Exam to name just a few.
Patrons get immediate scoring, complete answer explanations, and an
individualized analysis of their results.
Libraries that continue to put Learning Express out in front of their
patrons and actively promote the site have consistently increased their
usage. Learning Express is available, free of charge, to every Ohioan
because of an LSTA grant awarded to Ohio's library community. At this
workshop you will learn new strategies that will help your library market
this valuable resource. (www.learningexpresslibrary.com
