Continuing Education

UNYOC sponsors MLA credit continuing education classes at the annual UNYOC Conference each year. Additionally, the Chapter offers co-sponsorship and financial support to groups in the Chapter for MLA credit courses offered at other times and locations.

Upcoming CE Courses:

Held at the Western New York Library Resources Council - WNYLRC, Buffalo, NY

Title: Keeping Up With PubMed
Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010
Time: 9:00 am -- 1:00 pm
Registration: http://www.wnylrc.org, then go to the WNYLRC Events Calendar on the sidebar

With a hands-on approach, this class will show attendees how to use the features of PubMed effectively. Attendees will be able to describe the contents of PubMed; formulate basic search strategies; display, print, and save results in various formats; revise and refine searches; and use special features such as Related Articles, Link to journals, Citation Matcher, and Clinical Queries. The instructor will demonstrate online searches, and students, at computers connected to the Internet, will be invited to follow along. Time for individual practice will be provided.

This course is co-sponsored with HLSP/WNYLRC and the CHIA Committee.

Guidelines for Requesting UNYOC Funds for Regional CE:

Groups interested in UNYOC co-sponsorship should contact the Chapter CE Chair or the Chapter Chair.

The UNYOC budget may include a sum to be used to co-sponsor MLA credit continuing education classes in various locations in the Chapter.
The total amount available and the amount available for each co-sponsored class is set by the Chapter Executive Committee. Currently up to $250 is available for each co-sponsored class.
Each year the CE Chair reminds the regions of the chapter (Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca/Binghamton, North Country, Ontario, Rochester, Southeastern, and Syracuse) to request co-sponsorship for MLA credit classes. A regional group may request only one co-sponsorship each year.
The CE Chair commits funds upon request on a first come basis. Groups accepting the UNYOC funds agree to advertise UNYOC co-sponsorship and to allow UNYOC members to register at "member" rates. The sponsoring group should also provide a copy of UNYOC member attendance and the evaluation summary.
The funds are sent as reimbursement following the event, upon request by letter or invoice.
