Online Engagement Matters! Boost it Using Zoom’s Annotation Tool
In an age of remote meetings, trainings, and webinars, it’s easy for participants to slip into passive mode—camera off, mic muted, multitasking in the background. Meaningful online engagement is not just a “nice to have”—it’s essential. [Read more…]

Virtual Winter Workshop is a time to come together; to learn, share and celebrate! [Read more…]
CLiC’s Virtual E-Resources Conference Series next session is May 6, 2025 with an hour of multiple sessions that’ll energize you to spotlight your e-resources!
This is a time for libraries and vendors to come together to learn from one another and share knowledge.
As libraries, we spend a lot of money on electronic resources. It can be a challenge to promote and display these in our print-centric organizations. This exciting session marks the start of a year dedicated to exploring new and creative ways to showcase your e-resources.
What will you learn?
1. How to use products in practical ways, not just features. Real-world examples.
We have all sat through how-to demonstrations, showing the functions of a database or other e-resource. These are NOT those kinds of sessions!
2. How to promote electronic resources.
We have all used the traditional approach of creating or using vendor-produced bookmarks and flyers. Those certainly have their place, but only go so far.
Discover creative ways to highlight e-resources that go beyond the usual bookmark!
3. How to set up electronic resources on a library website to promote discoverability.
With so many products to manage and to serve up to our communities, we often resort to A-Z lists of e-resources. This approach only works if the patron/student knows exactly what they’re looking for. Discover how to optimize your website to better highlight and promote your e-resources.

When turkeys aren’t just hanging out in the oven/sauna for 2 to 5 hours at 325 degrees, they’re looking for a bargain. Because turkeys are notoriously thrifty.
CLiC’s money-saving deals are all the rage among the entire poultry community. We see turkeys subscribing to EBSCO databases, chickens licensing Pebble Go Next, and pheasants doing research through Infobase products.
Take from us — e-resource products really are for the birds.
By the way, CLiC will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week.
