OA Master Class (for Publics): Looking to the Data: How CloudSource OA Can Help Meet the Needs of Public Libraries 

August 15, 2024 @ 1:00 pm 1:30 pm EDT

Since 2020, Public libraries have faced unprecedented challenges in staffing, budgeting, and services. The Public Library Association’s Annual Surveys give voice to those needs and frustrations but fall short when it comes to how to address them. How can you take those data points and turn them into actionable change? 

Join us for this free webinar, as we look at PLA Annual Survey data from the past three years. We’ll discuss practical, cost-effective, and user-friendly ways to reach your goals and provide quality, peer-reviewed resources to your patrons.  

Together, we will: 

  • Look at public library trends related to technology, collection development, services, and staffing  
  • Examine ways in which open access resources can meet the information needs of your patrons 
  • Explore ways to support digital literacy and lifelong learning in your community with open educational resources 
  • Learn how CloudSource OA can transform your approach to collection development 

Public libraries aren’t just a place to check out books and eBooks. They are the cornerstones of their communities, offering critical digital resources, access to technology, and welcoming spaces to learn and collaborate. Let us show you how CloudSource OA – a unique discovery platform for every library – can make meeting the evolving needs of your community just a little easier. Register today.
