New for Fall 2011 - French and Spanish courses. The online classes were

developed specifically for our School's MLIS students to prepare them for

interaction with French-speaking and Spanish-speaking information clients.

The courses also focus on finding resources in French and Spanish, as well

as building professional relationships with librarians and public agencies

in French-speaking and Spanish-speaking countries.
