This checklist is designed to serve a number of purposes:

       To list the workshops available through the University of Maryland Libraries

       To inform you of which Learning Curriculum workshops are strongly recommended 

       To help you record the workshops you have attended 

       To guide you when revisiting Learning Curriculum materials and your personal plans

       To organize the materials in your Learning Curriculum Notebook

       To show all of the hard work you have put into making the University of Maryland Libraries a learning organization

If you have any questions regarding which workshops you have attended and when, please check your Learning Curriculum Notebook for your workshop agenda.  If you have further questions regarding your participation in Learning Curriculum events, feel free to contact the Learning Curriculum Team at lib-learning@umail.umd.edu.
