Library Juice Academy courses offered in February, March, and April Apologies for cross-posting. Please share as appropriate. February classes start next Monday. We accept registrations through the first week of class (unless enrollment is full, and unless the class was canceled before it started due to low enrollment). Most of the classes listed below are four weeks in length, with a price of $175. Classes are taught asynchronously, so participants can do the work at any time of the day. Assignments are typically on a weekly basis.

Accardi While academic programs focus on conceptual understanding of foundations, we focus primarily on the kinds of skills that library schools expect librarians to learn on-the-job, but which usually turn out to require additional study. These workshops earn Continuing Education Units, and are intended as professional development activities. Workshops are taught asynchronously, so you can participate as your own schedule allows.
