Hey, readers! As some of you know, when I’m not updating Archives Gig, I am based at the University of Wisconsin – Madison iSchool, where my team works on creating professional development and continuing education opportunities for GLAM professionals. This shares a few upcoming programs this fall that I think would be of particular interest to Archives Gig followers.

• Tech Crash Courses: AI & Libraries Webinar Series (October) A series of 5 webinars. You can sign up for one all.

• Back in Circulation Conference (October 7-8) A national, in-person conference in Madison, WI, focused on access and circulation services topics.

• Introduction to Digitization Projects (Sept 30 – Nov 24) An 8 week, instructor-led online class.

• The Art of Inclusive Hiring and Onboarding (Nov 11 – Dec 8) A 4 week, instructor-led online class.

… and more! All of our programs are on our website.

“Are you doing another international tour?” Some of you know that we sometimes lead small group tours abroad. Yes, we are working on one that will be announced in the next few weeks. If you want news of upcoming international programs, sign up here.

Hi, All! I interrupt (briefly!) the regular flow of job posts to plug some online continuing education programs that my team at the University of Wisconsin Madison Information School has developed for summer. Anyone can take these noncredit programs – you do not have to have any prior affiliation with UW-Madison. Here are a few upcoming online classes that I think would be particularly interesting to Archives Gig followers:

Genealogy Library Services (Jun 19 – July 30)

Strategies for Supervising Part-Time Employees (Jul 10 – Aug 20)

What’s the Buzz? Creating Organic Social Media Content with Wings (Jul 24 – Aug 20)

We’re offering a bunch more classes this summer, and we have fresh programs (online and in-person!) every fall, spring, and summer. Visit our website for more info, and I hope we see you soon!
