Wisconsin Heritage Online through WiLS and Minitex is sponsoring a set of
four two-hour webinars focused on digitization information and skill
development. We are holding two in May; one in June and the last one in
July. The sessions will be taught by Linda Stewart from OCLC Western, who is
based in California. The sessions require broadband internet access and a
phone line (800 number). We will send instructions prior to the meeting time
for you to download the required applet. I will work with Linda Stewart to
tailor the sessions to our Wisconsin cultural heritage institutions.
If you would like to attend a session but do not have broadband internet
access, please contact us before you register. We will either try to arrange
access at a library near you, or provide contact information for someone
registered at a location near you.
