Statewide eBook Platform Project News

We have been getting many questions about the status of the statewide eBook platform project.  In response to these requests, Deb Hoadley, Team Leader on this project and MLS Advisor, hosted a webinar and posted an MLS Guide to keep members informed about this project.

The webinar was recorded and is now available at:

Still time to register!

We still have space for you to attend “My College Freshman is Your High School Senior” on May 31.

This program will give librarians of all types (academic, school, and public), as well as teachers, college faculty, and administrators a rare opportunity to come together to discuss common concerns and strategize ways to best prepare students as they proceed through the educational system and into the workforce. Our speakers will address topics such as 21st century skills, educational and informational literacy standards, innovative collaborations, student-centered technology and pedagogy, and — of course — assessment.

DATE: Friday, May 31, 2013, 9:00am – 3:00pm (Lunch included!)
