The American Library Association has embarked on an effort to develop a national Library Support Staff Certification Program (LSSCP). At this free session, you will get a chance to hear the rational behind the LSSCP, how competencies are being developed, major issues being faced and the timeline for implementation. Project directors Nancy Bolt and Dr. Karen Strege will be our presenters. This project is funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

Two sessions are scheduled — 10-11 a.m. or 2-3 p.m., Mountain Standard Time. There are a limited number of seats available, so you will need to register (www.bcr.org/training/workshops/register.html) for this free presentation. We also ask that you indicate what session you are registering for in the Comments box.

Can't make the live presentation? This Free Friday Forum will be recorded and available for viewing a few days after the session. Visit the BCR Free Friday Forum Archive Web page for access instructions.
