Virtual International Librarianship Webinar

On March 2, Beth Filar Williams hosted a webinar using Skype to highlight a February 2012 international internship when she hosted a virtual intern in Uzbekistan who is an online student in the Digital Libraries Learning (DILL) program. Iskander presented about the internship, the DILL program, and libraries in his country, along with Elena, an instructor with University of Parma and part of DILL, who discussed those same aspects from her perspective. The Webinar is now streaming and can be viewed. Thanks especially to the Libraries Digital Projects staff - Robert for recording it and David for lending his nice HD camera.
