| • Relevance. Unlike the majority of Web-based courses out there, these are specifically library-related: by librarians for librarians. PEN programs showcase the profession's innovators and leaders, with a unique emphasis on best practices, collection development, smart operational strategies, and effective outreach. |
| • Affordability. PEN programs are available for one affordable fee per location. You can invite your entire library staff—and anyone else you can fit in the room! |
| • Immediacy. Take the skills you learn and apply them right away. |
| • Convenience. While conferences and off-site seminars and workshops are valuable training opportunities for you and your staff, it can often be difficult to schedule time away from your library and to fund associated travel costs. With NS PEN programs, we bring the learning opportunities right to you. You can participate individually and you also have the flexibility to integrate these learning opportunities into your library's staff development schedule. |
