[Mla-cds] FW: ALCTS Web Course Announcement

[Nasea, Melissa]

Dear CDS Colleagues:

 

If you haven't had a collection development class and are looking for an
introduction to the field, you may be interested in this on-line class.
Although it is general rather than aimed at medical librarians, much of
the information should be relevant.

 

Melissa
