[OPLINLIST] This Just In...From The State Library: Spotlight onWebjunction Ohio Courses

[Jay Burton]

Christina asks a good question, and the answer will benefit all...

The Webjunction courses are no charge...free...$0.00...zero dollars...not one dime...to Ohio library staff that have a Webjunction Account.

Note that last bit...you have to have an account.

Easy to get one...go to oh.webjunction.org...click on "Create Account" in the Account Box...and follow the instructions.  

Once you have an account...select the "Course Catalog" tab and go to town.  Read the FAQ, it has some helpful hints.

If you see money next to the courses, you're not logged in with your account.  You have to log in with an account to take a course at no charge.  

Questions...feel free to contact me (Jay Burton) at jburton at sloma.state.oh.us

Thanks
Jay
