The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), University of South Carolina, presents the sixteenth 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 Fall 2010.

This year, as in the past, the CE Committee has worked to develop programs in cooperation with other CE providers throughout the state and 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 fall we are implementing on-line workshops that can be accessed from your computer using any web browser. Paid participants will be sent the web address (known as the URL) and access the workshop for the time specified. A high-speed Internet connection is recommended and audio speakers or headphones are required to access the online workshops.Please email Nonie Price at nprice@mailbox.sc.edu if you have any questions or problems accessing the online workshops once your payment has been received.


This webpage lists workshops that were scheduled by June 30, 2010. Check our home page for additional events or changes.

Please take special note of the following:
