End of the Trail

Last Chance to Take LE@D Courses

Lifelong Education @ Desktop has provided online training for libraries and library staff for the past 9 years, but economic conditions and lack of funding will force us to discontinue offering our courses very soon.


January will be your last chance to purchase and complete LE@D courses.


Since 2003 LE@D has offered high-quality online courses for library training, and more than 30,000 courses have been taken by more than 10,000 students in the past 9 years. However, funding cuts, reductions in library staff, and current economic conditions are forcing UNT to discontinue the LE@D program.


During the month of January we are giving all of our loyal customers one last chance to take all of those LE@D courses you always wanted to take, but never got around to. And as an added bonus, we will give you a $10 discount on any Library or School Library course. Just apply the coupon code IMLS-10 at checkout for your discount. There are no limits on the number of classes you can buy and no restrictions on the discount.


All classes must be purchased with a credit card or a valid coupon code. PAyment by check will not be accepted. All classes purchased will need to be finished within 30 days. Access to classes beyond that time cannot be guaranteed.


It has been our pleasure to serve you for the past nine years, and we thank you for the support you have shown.




School Library 101: From Good to Amazing!

New From LE@D

 

School Library 101

LE@D is pleased to offer our newest course, this one developed for the school librarian.

This course will help librarians working at all grade levels (K12). But it will also assist community college librarians, teacher librarians, media specialists, and library information specialists, along with school classroom teachers in their quest to adapt to a new professional teaching assignment. Public librarians, technicians, and paraprofessionals will also find value in attending this class. Whether you are the only staff member in charge of the library or a clerical employee just starting out, get ready to learn something new!

 

School Library 101: From Good to Amazing! is available now!


Customer Service

January 14 to January 28

 

Between January 14 and January 28 all customer service issues will be handled by Alese Smith at alese.smith@unt.edu. There will be no one to answer the LE@D phone (940 565-2502) or to get messages during this time. Kevin Haney's email also will not be monitored during this time. Normal service will resume January 30.
