  Sustaining Community Access Computing: Planning, Resources, and Tools

The curriculum is designed to assist small and rural public library 
staff in the development of public access computing sustainability 
strategies in such areas as technology maintenance and planning, 
outreach, funding, training and support, promotion and collaboration.

Participants will also learn about the resources, information network 
and learning opportunities available to them on WebJunction 
<http://www.webjunction.org/do/Home;jsessionid=CF6D3F75D306B6D52170BC645504381F>. 
Finally, workshops provide a forum for rural library staff to share and 
connect with one another.

At the end of the day participants will return to their library with 
ideas and action plans that will assist them in connecting with the 
community and being a more effective advocate for the library. Come 
prepared for lots of hands-on work and plenty of discussion.

/This 1/2 day workshop will be held in various locations around the 
state, and a listing of all locations may be found on the Continuing 
Education website 
<http://statelibrary.ohio.gov/cregister/sloh-sessions/rural-sustainiality-workshops/>
