Library Training Sessions 


The library's Training Group is a standing committee that coordinates staff training initiatives and schedules a Thursday afternoon series of training sessions. The sessions are primarily for librarians and library staff, but the audience may be expanded to include IPFW faculty, staff and local area librarians when appropriate. Contact Sue Skekloff, Training Group Chair, or the individual presenter for registration information.  Thursday sessions are held from 3:00 to 4:00 pm in the library's Electronic Information Training Center (EITC) classroom-lab (LB 440A), unless an alternate time or place is indicated. The schedule below is FLUID and sessions are added, cancelled and rescheduled throughout the semester. Check back frequently!
