LIS Continuing Education via the Internet

The winter roster of LIS continuing education workshops delivered wholly
via the Internet is now available from the University at Buffalo library
school.  A computer with Internet access and a Web browser are all that
are needed to access these self-paced English-language instructional
modules, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the posting
period. They may be taken from anywhere in the world and an MLS is not a
prerequisite for enrollment. Full descriptions of workshops, prices, and
dates of class sessions can be accessed from
<http://informatics.buffalo.edu/faculty/robinson/ce/descriptions.htm>.
New workshops have been added covering serials cataloging, proposing &
surviving new library technologies, XML, and constructing database driven
web sites.  All workshop topics:
 . Cataloging
 . Sleuthing Serials: Serials Cataloging in Reverse
 . Computers - Networking:
 . Basic Networking & Operating Systems for Librarians
 . Proposing & Surviving New Library Technologies
 . Government Information/Documents:
 . Documents Jump Start
 . Legislative Research

 . Public Libraries: Readers' Services:
 . Genre Fiction in Public Libraries
 . Readers' Advisory Services
 . Web Design - Internet Technologies:

Course modules are posted on the Web and accessed via a password sent by
E-mail to registrants. Participants proceed at their own pace through
course modules accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the posting
period.  Questions and assignments are fielded by the instructor via a Web
Bulletin Board or by E-mail (the Sleuthing Serials workshop also has
optional Blackboard Virtual Classroom sessions).

These non-credit courses do not require enrollment at the University at
Buffalo and will not appear on university transcripts. They accrue
Continuing Education credits -- CEUs.
