Resource or Tool of the Month
Available for a limited time (through July 2022), this webinar recording from Southwest Wisconsin Library System is all about building out your Spanish language collections! Presented by collection development librarians from Madison Public Library Kylee Stoor and Holly Storck-Post, this webinar is focused on print collection development but many of the tips and practices they share apply to developing digital library collections as well.
Special thanks to Shauna Koszegi, Kylee Stoor, and Holly Storck-Post for making this webinar available.
