Libraries Training

From WSUWiki

Welcome to the WSU Libraries Training page! The goal of this wiki is to provide a forum where library employees can post and discuss both past and future training opportunities. If you're interested in a particular conference, post a question in the discussion page. If you think others would benefit from your past experiences at a conference post them here. If you need a roommate for an upcoming conference, this is the place to find one locally.
