Highlights for June include:


*         June 3 - Weeding Made Easy (Washington State Library)

Collection Manager is a free Excel spreadsheet that analyzes three reports from your automation system, i.e., number of items in each library
collection, last year's circulation for each collection, number of titles added to each collection during the past year, to recommend which
collections to weed, which collections to expand by buying more titles this year than last year, which collections to buy fewer titles, and even
how many titles to purchase in each collection


*         June 5 - Best Small Libraries in America: Vital, Innovative and Thriving (WebJunction)
In collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries and Library Journal, we are pleased to host this webinar featuring the two
most recent award winners.


*         June 12 - MeLCat Reports (MCLS)
Do you know what a Too Long report is? In MeLCat, there are reports you can run to find things that have fallen through the cracks. Those items
that have been in a specific status for too long. Attend this webinar to find out what reports are available, how to run them and what actions to
take with the results. Come with questions!


*         June 18 - Be Fearless: Public Speaking for Librarians (WebJunction)
Do you quake at the thought of public speaking? Are you also faced with the need to communicate to audiences, small or large, the importance
of your work in libraries? You really can overcome your anxieties and master the art of public speaking.

If you have questions about a particular webinar, please contact the organization that is providing the information. There are links to all the organizations along with the listings.
