Looks like Infopeople is generously opening up this webinar to anyone interested. You might want to pass on since I know this is a relevant topic for many libraries.

Note on this page of the website: http://infopeople.org/training/webcasts/list It states: "Infopeople's funding limits attendance at live events to anyone in the California library community and Infopeople partners. If you do not fall into either of these categories please do not attend the live event. However, you are welcome to see the archived versions of any free event the day following the webinar.

Title: Best Practices in Helping Job Seekers in the Library Date and time: Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 12 pm - 1:00 pm PST This webinar will last approximately one hour. There is no charge for this webinar. Pre-registration is not required. For more information and to participate in the November 10 webinar, go to http://infopeople.org/training/webcasts/webcast_data/313/index.html Your library has been helping the unemployed and underemployed (aka job seekers) in your community for a long time. However, the declining economy over the past year has dramatically increased the demands on library staff, services, and resources. Would you like to learn about some successful programs in other libraries? Do you wonder if there are some new ideas you could try for getting patrons started? Would you like to know the resources other libraries recommend to job seekers? Are you interested in partnerships but feel unsure who to talk to? This webinar will help you by introducing three successful programs, giving you a fresh look at getting started in helping job seekers, providing information about some "best resources", and exploring agencies and organizations you may consider partnering with. At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: * Assess where job seekers are in the job search process * Identify at least three new job search resources * List local agencies or organizations to pursue as possible partners Speakers: Bernice Kao, Raye Oldham, Megan Pittsley. Bernice Kao is the Job Service Outreach Librarian of the Fresno County Library. She joined the library in 2002, and since then has launched many innovative programs to serve the unemployed in the Central Valley.

Raye Oldham joins us from the State Library of North Carolina where she has been the Continuing Education Consultant since 2003.
