Three Fee-Free Library Webinars from MaintainIT: Laptops, Training and Gaming.
Join us for these free webinars. Attend these sessions from your library, no travel needed!
The MaintainIT Project, (www.maintainitproject.org), interviews hundreds of librarians about how they maintain, support, and sustain their public computers. We publish all of these experiences, successes, and challenges in guides called Cookbooks, so librarians can learn from the experiences of others who’ve done it before them. The best part? Everything we do is FREE, and everything is on www.maintainitproject.org. We also produce free webinars every month!
