Webinar registration links are separate from registration for access to the Ohio Collection Analysis Initiative.
The Ohio Collection Analysis Initiative launched in 2022 and gave Ohio library staff exclusive access to an original, self-paced, collection analysis initiative for considering collections that empower children and young adult readers by respecting and appreciating what makes them different and the same. This initiative provides the tools, time, and support to consider your library’s print collections for children and young adults.
To receive registration links to each webinar, register here for access to the Ohio Collection Analysis Initiative.
