Fall training registration is open! Sessions will be held on advanced features of the Access PA Catalog and ILL System and the POWER Library e-resources, including our new e-resources authentication system. The training is in-person and will be held at eleven locations across Pennsylvania.
Please note that we will not offer Beginner’s training on the use of SHAREit ILL software. If you are completely new to SHAREit, please watch the two training videos available online here before you attend the training in-person. Contact us at support@hslc.org for the password to view videos and access SHAREit documentation.
Registration and a continental breakfast will begin at 8:15am. The sessions will begin promptly at 9:00 am and end no later than 3:00 pm with a one-hour break for lunch on your own. We will email a reminder and directions to you one week before the scheduled session; directions are also available by clicking the venue location in the session list.
