Copyright Basics for Librarians
Copyright is a hot topic in librarianship and commerce. Knowing what copyright entails and how to deal with the most basic copyright situations in library can help you avoid common copyright mistakes. After finishing this course, you will be able to better understand what you read regarding copyright and make decisions that are based on solid baseline information, not rumor or possibly erroneous "common knowledge".

Volunteers: Recruitment, Development, and Supervision
This course is designed to provide library staff the tools to create and effectively manage a successful volunteer program. In order to manage a volunteer program successfully, supervisors must have a mind set that truly values the work of volunteers. A good management mind set will perceive volunteers as motivated and professional. The volunteers will be perceived as enhancements rather than threats to library jobs and as boosts to staff morale.

Presentation Skills for Librarians
This course will focus on the area of presentation skills for librarians. Students will learn how their organization and presentation of information, as well as presentation of themselves, affect the audience’s receptiveness. Although venues for communicating are quite different – traditional face-to-face workshops, self-paced courses and full-time interactive web-based courses – the basic presentation skills still apply.
