Education Opportunities:
Sharing in Our Region and Beyond
This page provides links to various workshop and training opportunities available in the Midcontinental
Region of the Medical Library Association. This is one way of sharing ideas, handouts, tutorials, expertise
and kinds of material included on "education" Web pages. This is a work in progress and your input is appreciated.
The page is arranged alphabetically by state and includes selected national sites that might be of interest. If you
would like to add a link to your institution's educational offerings, send your link to the current
chair of the CE Committee. Thanks!
