More than 6,000 of you joined us for live panel presentations of “Next Generation Digital Library” during Training Month 2012.

We’re also offering a recorded version of “Next Generation Digital Library” on the View Now page of the Learning Center through the end of the year.

We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make Training Month 2012 a tremendous success, especially all of you who participated. We appreciate all the feedback, which will help us make Training Month 2013 even better.  We hope you’re as excited as we are for OverDrive’s Next Generation!
