ALA Launches Online Continuing
Education Clearinghouse
CHICAGO - The American Library Association
(ALA) has launched a new online Continuing Education (CE) Clearinghouse
at www.ala.org/ce. It is designed to meet
the professional development needs and career interests of library staff
and boards.
Education and Continuous Learning is one of five key action areas adopted
by the ALA to fulfill its mission of promoting the highest quality library
and information services for all people. Providing librarians, library
staff and trustees with opportunities for professional development and
promoting continuous, lifelong learning for all people are integral
to that mission.
The CE Clearinghouse is a searchable database of continuing education
opportunities offered by ALA, its divisions and other units. The result
of input from numerous ALA members and working groups, it includes face-to-face
workshops and conferences, online learning, as well as workshops that
can be licensed by local institutions.
Continuous learning is critical to renewing the expertise and skills
needed to assist patrons in this information age. Library workers must
continually expand their knowledge in order to keep up with the rate
of change.
Whether one is an entry-level professional, mid-career librarian, library
support staff or senior management staff or trustee, the ALA has continuing
education resources for professional development.
For more information, contact the ALA Office for
Human Resource Development and Recruitment via e-mail at ce@ala.org
