connie massey picWe are now creating new educational events to address the severe economic challenges all libraries and educational institutions are facing. Please contact Connie Massey with any feedback or suggestions.  


Courses - FREE to all Unlimited Members
We schedule approximately 90 online, face-to-face, and videoconferenced courses throughout the year, taught by our great team of library experts. All NELINET unlimited members can take these classes for free. To see a list of the available free courses, go to browse events and and select "Unlimited Free Member Event" in the Category/Subcategory drop-down box. All of our courses are also listed in our course catalog. If you see a class in the catalog that you would like us to schedule, please contact Connie Massey (massey@nelinet.net or 508.597.1938).
 
Seminars, Institutes, Symposia, and Conferences
For these events, we invite dynamic speakers with special expertise to give presentations and conduct workshops and focus groups, and we rent venues that will make the events convenient and comfortable for our members - and generally include refreshments and lunch. Because of these expenses, we must charge a registration fee for these events, and these charges may vary depending on the expenses.
 
Customized Courses through NELINET
NELINET can customize courses to fit your institution's or group’s needs. We can deliver the course in three ways; at your institution, at NELINET, or Online. We can also modify the content of an existing course or even custom-design an entirely new course.

Access through Consortial Sponsors
Through our Consortial Sponsorship program, thousands of libraries throughout New England have access to NELINET programs and services at very affordable prices.  Most of our Consortial Sponsors are regional library networks or consortia. So, if you are a member of that network you can participate in all NELINET programs.  To find out if your regional library network or consortia is a member, contact Connie Massey (massey@nelinet.net or 508.597.1938).
