and reactive has been swirling for me recently. It can feel empowering to be able to get ahead of something instead of having to respond in the moment.

But what makes it special is our approach: We’re committed to listening, collaborating, and doing our own learning, too. It shows in how we’ve evolved over the past 20 years with projects—big and small—that truly reflect the library landscape and provide new ways of learning for all levels of staff.</p> <p>What started in 2003 as a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that focused on helping library staff be more effective in offering public access computing has developed to include content reflecting all aspects of library learning needs. The WebJunction team is a vibrant group within OCLC Research, and our 20-year journey has produced significant contributions with and for the library community. We make learning practical and flexible, allowing individuals to modify and customize their experience to meet local needs. This has resulted in successful learning models that are both inclusive and actionable.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.oclc.org/next/webjunction-evolution-in-learning/" class="btn btn-prime btn-read-more2 btn-read-more btn-small">Read More</a></p> </div> </article> <hr> <article class="blog-item post-4787 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-community-engagement category-learning category-research tag-community-engagement tag-learning tag-research"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="https://blog.oclc.org/next/new-model-library-learner-guide/">New Model Library: Plan for positive change in the midst of challenges</a> </h2> <div class="meta-info"> <img data-del="avatar" src='https://blog.oclc.org/next/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Faniel_Ixchel.jpg' class='avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-90 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-90 photo ' height='90' width='90'/> <ul> <li> <a href="https://blog.oclc.org/next/author/ixchel-m-faniel/" title="Posts by Ixchel M.

Of all kinds.

This inconsistency has not only led to disappointing learning experiences, it has caused consternation among providers of continuing education and professional development that see the potential for webinars as an effective delivery format for learning at scale if used well.</p> <h2></h2> <p><a href="https://blog.oclc.org/next/36-tips-for-making-webinars-that-dont-stink/" class="btn btn-prime
