You are invited to a Virtual UConn Early College Experience Library Media Specialist Training!
UConn ECE believes that accomplished library media specialists are leaders who forge greater opportunities for learners. They work in partnership with instructors to provide students access to research materials and reinforce the importance of information literacy in daily life. They can also serve as leaders in instruction, assisting instructors with curriculum development. With access to millions of records at the University of Connecticut, it is important that affiliate library media specialists can access materials and utilize university resources effectively. For that reason, UConn ECE library media specialists are invited for training on how to navigate the resources.
The Spring 2021 Training will take place online on Tuesday, April 20, 2021.
