The State Library is pleased to announce that the two newest courses from the University of North Texas LE@D program have been added to the WebJunction Kansas course catalog. (Please remember, you must be logged in to view the WebJunction Kansas catalog.)
Cataloging Basics 101
http://ks.webjunction.org/home/-/courses/details/120453442
Cataloging Basics offers an introduction to the practice and theory of cataloging that can provide solid baseline knowledge for paid library staff or volunteers new to cataloging. This three hour course explains everything from call numbers to subject headings to the differences in how cataloging works for fiction, children’s books and non-standard items.
Social Media 101: Business & Career Tools
http://ks.webjunction.org/home/-/courses/details/120175944
A great introduction to using online tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter in a professional context for business and career research. This course provides valuable information that library staff can use personally, for promotion of their library, and when working with job seeking patrons. The learner will also learn effective ways for the individual or the organization to promote themselves to potential employers and customers (and patrons!).
