E-branch in a Box Fall Training Schedule

The Idaho Commission for Libraries will provide a half-day update training session for all current e-Branch in a Box users. This is a great opportunity to brush up on development and troubleshooting skills for the e-Branch administrators. You will have an opportunity to work on your own site customization issues.

E-branch in a Box is an initiative from the Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICFL) to assist Idaho libraries in having a web presence, which is defined as having a vital website that is an extension of the library providing information about or access to library services.
