Instruction Committee Webinar: "Leading Online Sessions: Tips for Engaging Webinars"

The CARLI Instruction Committee's theme for this year is "We Can't Do It Alone: Joining Forces For Sustainable Partnerships." Through a series of online events, the committee will offer opportunities to learn how to extend information literacy programs in ways that are scalable and sustainable. Because webinars can be an effective format for outreach and information literacy education to both faculty and students, we'll kick things off with an online session on best practices for webinars.
