Good morning!

YALSA has launched its Badges for Learning program<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/badges-learning>: seven (7) micro-credentials that align with YALSA's seven Competences for Librarians Serving Youth<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/guidelines/yacompetencies2010>. Badges for Learning offers free professional development where librarians and library workers earn a micro-credential by completing lessons that enable individuals to develop skills they need to successfully work with teens. The badge linked to each micro-credential can be used on resumes, in social spaces and to demonstrate expertise to colleagues, administrators and current and potential employers. For information about other YALSA e-learning opportunities, please visit: http://www.ala.org/yalsa/onlinelearning.
