"It’s a friendly place
to share ideas and
concerns, and
information about
all things library."
Welcome to Development!
You've found the place for all things educational! Workshops, newsletters, podcasts, and even new trends in the library field are here. This is "home base" for ARC and Library Directors too. Come on in and have a look around!
New classes for fall
You don't want to miss the great lineup of workshops we have planned for you. There's lots of what you need to keep up-to-date with Children's Services, Computers & Technology, Interlibrary Loan, Online Resources, Reference and everything else found in a library.
You have lots of options, too, from attending in person to telephoning in to a meeting to working at your own pace.
Register now. We hope to see you soon.
Need the workshop handouts?
No problem! You're in the right place. Find handouts and links to information presented in our workshops on our Workshop Materials page.
Blogs, podcasts and more!
Centralities, our newsletter, has changed format and is now much shorter, making it faster and easier to read. We have moved our columns to blog format, to keep you up-to-date on news and important information. Don't miss our podcasts too!
Information literacy tools
We have a suite of tools to help you teach information literacy in your library. Try some of these:
Sample policies & job descriptions
Writing a new policy? Hiring new staff?
The Massachusetts Regional Library Systems have a collection of library policies and job descriptions that can help make those tasks easier!
If you have a policy to share, please email a link or the document to our webmaster. Thanks!
CMRLS services are provided through state funds administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
