How is everybody adapting to the new interface of WorldShare? The spotlighted Niche Class may help!
Niche Academy Progression
The mentors are working on grouping the modules (classes) in Niche Academy so catalogers will be able to coordinate which modules they need for each cataloger level. Please feel free to provide input to your mentor about the things you are finding challenging with the Academy, as well as the parts that are working well and what you would like to see more of.
We will keep you updated as we refine the groupings.
Please check Niche Academy and the SageStaff page frequently for new resources.
