Register for January’s Webinars from the PDA

Happy New Year 2023! Let’s make this year a year focused on professional development! We have a new group of free webinars from the Professional Development Alliance (PDA) available this month to Atla members. If your schedule makes it challenging to attend live events, Atla members are also able to register for a Skilltype account, which enables quick access to an extensive collection of recorded webinars from the library field. Check the Atla Blog monthly for the PDA’s most recent live events. All events are one hour, unless otherwise noted.

About the Professional Development Alliance (PDA):

Atla is partnering with other library consortia and organizations to create a Professional Development Alliance (PDA). The PDA is dedicated to sharing professional development opportunities across the participating organizations. This new cooperative initiative multiplies the number and variety of online professional development opportunities available to members of each participating library organization.

Each PDA-participating organization is sponsoring a no-cost, online professional development session each month that is being promoted to members of all participating library organizations. Sessions will cover a broad array of topics of interest to library professionals.

PDA participating consortia:

• ASERL: Association of Southeastern Research Libraries
• Atla
• BLC: Boston Library Consortium 
• CARLI: Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois
• Florida Virtual Campus
• LOUIS: Louisiana Library Network
• Minitex: Minnesota Libraries
• NC LIVE: North Carolina’s Statewide Library Cooperative
• SCELC: Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium 
• SEFLIN: Southeast Florida Library Information Network
