CONTINUING EDUCATION ROUNDUP

For Ohio Library Staff
June 10, 2020
Vol. 1, Issue 3
In this issue:

* Introduction

* Virtual Reference

* Articles, websites, and webinars

Introduction
I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this time and as libraries start different phases of reopening.

Libraries all over Ohio are opening in various ways but it may be a while before doors can be open and the full breadth of services offered to our communities. Virtual reference is a way to stay connected with patrons who need help navigating this new world or have the same reference questions they would have asked at the desk.

Email me at ekelsey at library.ohio.gov<mailto:ekelsey at library.ohio.gov> if you have ideas, articles, or topics for future Continuing Education Roundup issues.

Stay safe and stay well,
Erin Kelsey
