State LIbrary to Offer Free Training Sessions
Librarians at the State Library will conduct two classes which are open to state employees, library staff, and the public: "State Government Information" and "Grants Research: Finding a Funder for Your Nonprofit Organization."
"State Government Information" is designed to help researchers and librarians go beyond SC.gov to find key resources for state and county level information. It will review websites and print resources for locating demographic information, health statistics, legislative information, workforce resources, budgets, expenses and revenue. It is offered Monday, November 16. Register here.
"Grants Research: Finding a Funder for Your Nonprofit Organization" will help individuals locate information on grants available from private foundations and corporations, using the State Library's electronic and print resources. The Foundation Directory Online, the Foundation Center's grants database, as well as grants-related web sites, will be demonstrated. The class will include basic information on writing a grant proposal. It is offered Thursday, November 19. Register here.
Both classes are in the Computer Training Room of the South Carolina State Library, 1500 Senate Street and begin at 10 am.
Librarians are also offering a program to familiarize the state employees to our new online catalog, SCLENDS, and to other online resources available statewide. Agency personnel can schedule a program (30 to 60 minutes) at your agency for staff training. Call the Information Services Desk (803-734-8026) to schedule a program or email us at reference@statelibrary.sc.gov.
