But I should warn you, I am pretty far behind. I don’t want to overwhelm you, however, I do have a lot of being in front of my computer time this week and my goal is to get through everything by Friday.
And that’s good advice by the way. When you get behind on webinars, don’t simply get overwhelmed and never watch them. Rather, gather them up in one place [as I have just done for you], and slowly make your way through them as you have time. I have been known to cook dinner with a webinar running on my laptop. Hey, whatever it takes.
These are the Booklist Online webinars I have to catch up on [full archive is here]. I also know there is 1 live event [all archived here] and an audiobooks webinar that are not not posted yet, but once I catch up on these I can circle back and find more. They are always useful, never too long, and constantly happening, so you can always learn something new.
Let Data Do the Talking (August 9, 2018) When your library has accurate, up-to-date data about who is and isn’t using your library, there’s no limit to the insights you can gather and actions you can take. Join us, and Booklist, on August 9 at 2 p.m. (EST) for a free webinar where panelists will discuss how they have taken actionable steps to target new populations, create new programs, advance their value to the community, allocate resources more efficiently, and measure the results. Whether strategic or day-to-day, Analytics On Demand can help you make more informed decisions and increase ROI by blending demographics with existing data from your library’s ILS and other electronic systems. Start letting data do the talking, and register today for this free 60-minute webcast at 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, August 9.
