Conceptualizing and implementing a webinar series: lessons learned from the Mountain West Digital Library

Webinars are a low-cost and effective tool that allow librarians to disseminate information, connect with colleagues, and expand their communities beyond geographic and institutional boundaries. Yet, while many information specialists attend webinars on a regular basis, the task of hosting a webinar series may seem like a daunting and opaque challenge. In this poster session, we will demystify the process of implementing a successful webinar series including content creation, software selection, recruiting guest speakers, promotion, hosting the webinar, and afterlife of the series. This session will include practical advice on how to host a webinar series and lessons learned from the MWDL Webinar Series.
