BCR Introduces New
Quarterly Training Calendar

A new quarterly calendar of BCR classes is coming to your library's mailbox. The BCR Workshop Calendar debuts with listings of upcoming classes scheduled during the winter season, December 2003 through February 2004, in BCR's member states. The eight-page calendar lists both classroom and online workshops.

The new calendar has been designed to be user friendly, providing both an index of workshops by category and monthly calendars with classes listed by date and location. This compact catalog of classes is cost- effective, with lower printing and mailing costs. And it's ecologically sound, printed on fewer pages and on recycled paper, as is BCR's Action for Libraries newsletter.

While this new quarterly calendar provides BCR members with the basics of upcoming classes in a readily available print listing, our comprehensive Web catalog posted on the "Workshops and Training" section of BCR Online (www.bcr.org) still provides detailed descriptions of each workshop. BCR's online workshop registration form and updated training information — added and cancelled classes and changes in the workshop schedule — also are available on BCR's Web site, as are BCR's Web-based workshops, which are accessed from the "Distance Learning" section.

We invite your comments concerning this latest effort, as BCR continues to strive to better communicate with staff at our member libraries, all the time working to keep costs low, keep the environment in mind and make use of the latest in information technology. Please contact BCR's Sharon Hoffhines (shoffhin@bcr.org) or Brandie Baumann (bbaumann@bcr.org) with your ideas, questions and concerns.
