CSL In Session is an online learning series of free, hour-long virtual classes on a broad range of library-related topics. These aren’t your standard information-dump-style “webinars.” We’re planning interactive online classes where participation is central to your learning, and where you go away with distinct takeaways that can be immediately applied in your libraries and in your professional lives.
Learn more about CSL in Session and technology requirements for attending.
