WSDLC Training Schedule

WSDLC training plan by month

There are six components to the WSDLC training plan:

  • “Flipped classroom” months:  Review a set of materials about the topic on your own.  Schedule a 20-minute one-on-one session with OverDrive to get your questions answered.  Starting in September with a “Getting started” month.
  • Topical FAQs:  From the questions members ask during the “Flipped Classroom” month, these FAQs will help all of our questions get answers.
  • Tiny case studies:  Very short case studies where your peers share a WSDLC-related problem they had and how they solved it.  Starting in October.
  • Member exchange webinars:  A chance to get together (virtually), share your experience, and learn from other.  Each one will feature a specific topic.  Starting in December.
  • Tip sheets:  Gleaned from the member exchange webinars, these tip sheets will provide quick ideas and help.
  • Hands-on session and one-on-one sessions in the booth at WEMTA.
