Click here, to select a trainer from the list or contact the ISL staff for assistance in contacting a potential trainer. Some instructors will prefer to team teach (especially if the workshop will be two or more days), so please inquire if the instructor would prefer to work with another CBC graduate.
If you have made arrangements directly with one of the instructors, please contact the ISL IOUG staff, so that the workshop can be added to the Illinois State Library CleO site.
The normal IOUG training fee ($20 per day for IOUG members; $55 for non-members) will apply for all registrants. When arranging for training, specify the time and the sessions that you would like, and give the instructor(s) a general idea about the audience and your expectations. The maximum class size should be 20–25 people. Determine equipment needs and whether instructors would like cataloging tools onsite, such as AACR2R. If appropriate, make arrangements for the instructors’ travel and lodging.
