One of the two series of upcoming webinars is “Using Technology in Library Training Using RDA: Moving into the Metadata Future” sponsored by ALA Tech Source. These three webinars are 1.5 hours long. The original New Notes posting (http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/newsnotes/?p=2579) indicated that they are one hour long. Also, because of a scheduling conflict, the October 27 webinar will be in Ellis 4G41.
