[OPLINLIST] The snow is FINALLY melting--time to think about some in-person workshops at OHIONET!

[Shelly Miller]

*Please excuse cross-postings.*

The sun is peeking out from behind the clouds, and we're finally shaking
off the chill that certainly feels like it's been with us forever.  As
travel becomes a little easier to manage, I want to remind you about some
fantastic in-person training sessions coming soon here at OHIONET.  Our
first slate of in-person sessions has been scheduled and will be lead by
the wonderful Dr. Miriam Kahn.  Each will feature hands-on demonstration
and instruction on how to best use the featured resources and tools, as
well as practice questions and individual attention from Miriam.

Check out these choices....

Government documents are a rich resource of information, but finding what
you need to help your users can be frustrating.  You don't have to be an
expert to make the most of this treasure trove of data.  Let us refresh
your reference skills with an overview of the variety of government
resources available on the Internet.  Learn how to use FDsys, THOMAS, and
other specialized sites and search engines.  Tips for accessing state and

Disaster can come in many forms:  from water leaks to phone outages.  The
costs--to your institution and the community you serve--are largely
determined by how you choose to respond.  A planned response can save time,
money, and (perhaps) your sanity.  Join us to learn the basic steps in
creating (and enacting!) your Disaster Preparedness Plan.
