How to register for an Infopeople Course Seat

The Alaska State Library purchases blocks of course seats to Infopeople online instructor-led training sessions. These seats may be used by any Alaska library staff member during fiscal year.  These seats will be distributed in an equitable manner to ensure that participants from libraries of all sizes, all types and in all regions of the State are represented.  Four seats will be reserved for each of Alaska’s five recognized regions: Far North, Interior, Southwest, Southcentral and Southeast.

A list of Infopeople training courses is available at https://infopeople.org/training

Important

Please note:  If you fail to complete your Infopeople course, you will be required to reimburse the full amount of the registration fees.  You are also required to complete an evaluation form for the Alaska State Library at the conclusion of your Infopeople course.  This evaluation is separate from the course evaluation submitted directly to Infopeople.
