Access PA Fall 2008 Training Schedule & Registration (link on left)

The Access PA Fall 2008 live training sessions will consist of 3 all-day Beginner sessions and 21 all-day Refresher sessions, with continental breakfast and lunch provided, free of charge. Sign-in will begin at 8:15am, with all sessions beginning promptly at 9am and ending at 3pm.

It is recommended that librarians and support staff that have never received formal training attend a Beginner session which will cover Access Pennsylvania Database systems, and a complete overview of the new WebFeat Statewide Federated Search Engine.

The Refresher sessions are for experienced users and will include an update of Access Pennsylvania Database systems in the morning and a complete overview of the new WebFeat Statewide Federated Search Engine, along with POWER Library database updates, in the afternoon. You must attend both the morning and afternoon parts of the Refresher training session.

Those attending either a full-day Beginner or full-day Refresher session will be eligible to receive Act 48 credit. You must attend for the full day in either case to receive any Act 48 credit (i.e. there is no credit for partial attendance, and you may not share attendance with another staff member.)
