A few examples of recent and current clients working with WebJunction to deliver training to library staff.

Legal Services Corporation

WebJunction and Legal Services Corporation (LSC) partnered to create national online training for public library staff who work in reference, adult services, or outreach positions on how to improve access to civil legal information and services. Improving Access to Civil Legal Justice through Public Libraries produced an instructor-led online training, a self-paced course series, peer-learning facilitation guides and training, webinars, articles, and numerous presentations about the project. The learning materials bolster knowledge and ability of library staff to identify civil legal issues and direct library users to relevant information, helping narrow the justice gap. The project was made possible through funding from Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Susan Crown Exchange, LSC, and OCLC.

A second project with LSC addressed the civil legal issues of natural disasters through three on-demand courses. 

East Tennessee State University

Led by ETSU faculty member Dr. Alissa Lange, Libraries Count is a professional learning program that supports library staff in their work integrating math into programming for young children and their families. As the project team develops their content into online courses for library staff, WebJunction has provided instructional design support and learning management system expertise. The courses will be published in our Course Catalog in 2025.

Chief Officers of State Library Agencies

WebJunction produced and promoted Measures that Matter, a webinar series created with content from the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA). The Measures that Matter initiative was launched by the Institute of Museum and Library Services in cooperation with COSLA to take stock of the state of public library data and re-envision how data could be collected, stored, used, and disseminated more productively. Access the webinar series in WebJunction’s Course Catalog here.

IREX

The Library Bridgebuilding program is a project of IREX, a global development and education organization, with support from More Perfect, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and the Walmart Foundation. The project was created to enhance bridgebuilding capabilities of public libraries to combat rising levels of distrust and division in the United States. IREX worked with WebJunction to create the Bridgebuilding Resource Hub to help promote and disseminate the project materials to the public library community.
