Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM
Description: Would you like to include more informational or nonfiction books
in your storytimes? In recent years, the number of simple informational books
being published has increased. Storytimes offer a great opportunity to show
parents and caregivers that these are great books to read aloud to children,
and not just for homework. Additionally, since even kindergarteners listen to
informational books in their classrooms, including them in storytimes can be a
great first step in showing how fun and interesting these books can be.

shares:
- Why and how to incorporate informational books into storytime,
including concept books
- Titles of new informational books to use at storytimes
- How to pair storybooks to informational books on the same
topic, with related activities
- Simple informational books related to the 2017 summer reading
themes of “Build a Better World” and “Reading by Design”
This webinar will be of interest to: Any library staff member
who provides storytime programs to children. This webinar is particularly
valuable for staff whose work includes children’s services responsibilities at
public libraries and
elementary schools.

"Veterans and Mental Health - Suicide Prevention"
Date & Time: April 20th, 2017. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon,
Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM
Description: Historically, active duty service members had lower rates of
suicide than the general population; however, since 2005 the rates have
increased dramatically, particularly among Soldiers and Marines. From 2005 to
2009 more than 1,100 members of the Armed Forces took their own lives: an
average of one suicide every 36 hours. In 2014, an average of 20 Veterans died
by suicide each day. Regardless of the numbers or rates, one Veteran suicide is
one too many. Suicide is a major public health issue in the United States, but
it is important to recognize that suicide is a preventable tragedy. With help
comes hope.
In this webinar, participants will:
- Review recent suicide related data
- Understand Veteran’s increased risk for suicide
- Learn how to identify, address and mitigate risk for suicide
- Know where to contact the Veteran’s Crisis Line

Services Librarian, UC Santa Barbara

Governmental Studies Library, UC Berkeley

website is curated and stewarded for long-term access?

- Do you want to learn how to make sure that current and future
library users can access important information about their government?
If any of these questions sound interesting, then this webinar
is for you!
A group of librarians at the University of California, Stanford
University, and the California State Archives and State Library are working to
ensure that valuable evidence of our state's history are collected and
preserved. California state government publications have nearly ceased being
distributed in print; instead, they are now almost exclusively born-digital and
available only on agency websites. Current research indicates that over 40% of
the information presented on state government websites is inaccessible within
seven years. California is no different when it comes to this statistic.
Important California state (and local!) government information is at great risk
of irretrievable loss.
Launched in 2008, the Archive of the California State Government
domain, CA.gov, is a public collection of freely available web archived agency
sites . This webinar will introduce participants to tools and process
involved with creating and maintaining a web archive. We will discuss the
history of the CA.gov archive as well the current LSTA-funded development work
being done by a multi-institutional team.
In this webinar, participants will:
- Understand the basics of web archiving using Archive-It
- Be familiar with the scope and content of the CA.gov Web
Archive
- Be able to search the CA.gov Web Archive and the Open WayBack
Machine for state government information
- Know who to contact with questions about the project or
suggest sites for inclusion in the archive
- Have ideas for web harvesting projects for your local
government agencies
This webinar will be helpful to library staff who want to learn
how to access web archives and develop ideas for instituting web archiving
projects at their libraries.
Registration: https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=676
Webinars are free of charge, you can pre-register by clicking on
the Register Now button (at the top and bottom of this page). If
registering with less than 30 MINUTES from the start of the webinar you can
join directly from the thank you page by clicking the Join Now button. If
you pre-registered you will receive an email with login link and a reminder
email the day before the event.

Description: Are you interested in offering a coding program, but not sure
where to begin? Join us for this one-hour webinar that will cover how to
facilitate a coding club or workshop in the context of art making. Presenter
Sylvia Aguiñaga will explore fundamental coding concepts and how to apply them
specifically to visual design. Not only is this is a great way to engage kids
of all ages, it is also especially effective for motivating students to express
themselves in a creative way while teaching critical coding & life skills.

self-expression, it is especially effective in recruiting girls into the world
of coding.

introductory workshop
