The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), University of South Carolina, presents the fifthteenth annual calendar of scheduled continuing education (CE) events. We hope that you will participate in many of the programs listed in this Schedule of CE Events for Spring 2009.

This year, as in the past, the CE Committee has worked to develop programs in cooperation with other CE providers throughout the stateand region. We want to continue to work with your organizations to bring the best continuing education opportunities to you and your colleagues. Please let us know what we can do.

This webpage lists workshops that were scheduled by December 12, 2008. Check our flyers or our home page for additional events.

Please take special note of the following:

Make/Break Deadline:

Make/Break Deadline is 2 weeks prior to the workshop date. If sufficient registration has not been received by that date, the workshop will be canceled.

If the workshop has made by the make/break deadline, we will continue to accept registration until two working days before the event or until maximum registration is reached.

In fairness to presenters, this policy will be strictly followed. Please register early.

SLIS will refund registration fees received for programs only under the following conditions:
1. SLIS is notified of cancellation five working days in advance of the program,
2. Participant is ill and notifies SLIS by the day before the program, or
