Registration: To register, please complete the online registration form to view the recording (good 180 days past Jan 25th). We will not host a live viewing of the webinar at a particular library.

If you have any trouble accessing the form, please email me at wendy.wu@wayne.edu and I’ll get you registered.

As with the previous MLA webinars this year, we received GMR funding for a license that includes 25 MLA access codes that allow individuals to log-in to their MEDLIB-ED account, watch the live webinar or recording, complete the evaluation, and claim CE certificates.

As a result, access codes will be provided on a first come, first served basis to the first 25 registrants. If multiple registrants from the same institution register, you may be asked to pair up to view the webinar at your site. As this is sponsored by MDMLG, our members will receive priority.
