Here’s what one past participant said about their learning experience:
"This was a fabulous learning experience, and the information was timely and relevant. The speakers provided so much depth to course. Completing an audit of our collection was eye-opening. We were able to identify with real numbers what areas of our collection could use more focus to add diversity. I highly recommend this course!"
