Professional Development and Staff Training - 7/18

Edit: Transcript available at bit.ly/15qYRCM  

This Thursday, July 18, we'll chat about professional development and staff training. While I don't imagine it being very formal, here are some questions to think about:
-In the current healthcare/economic climate, have you lost support for your own and/or your staff's professional development?
-What resources are you using for staff training/professional development? Have you had any good results with MOOCs or other free resources? What do you recommend?
-Is there anything MLA should/could be doing, knowing that fewer libraries probably have resources even for paid MLA trainings?
-Anybody doing anything interesting for staff training? In any specific areas like leadership, genetics, or special topics?
