Informational Webinar–K-12 Database Project from the State Library

Informational Webinar about setup for the K-12 Database project from the State Library

The three providers for the K-12 Online Content project for California students — ProQuest, Encyclopedia Britannica, and TeachingBooks.net — conducted two online webinars for school district administrators, librarians, technical coordinators, and others involved in the implementation components of providing access for students on May 21 and  June 18, 2018.

The webinars were recorded by ProQuest who hosted the event. Everything you need can be found on the LibGuide: https://proquest.libguides.com/CaliforniaK12. The video link and PowerPoint are available below and in the LibGuide as well—left-hand side.
