Planning and Reporting a Training Session

Keeping in Touch

YALSA hopes you will keep in touch. Trainers can exchange information about what works and what doesn’t and provide tips and new ideas to other trainers. The YALSA office will provide new information that will assist you in your training efforts. Of course, you can still use those old standbys--phone, mail, and fax, but we hope you will use the Internet, if possible.

One of the objectives of this seminar is:

To provide a discussion list and web site for the SUS trainers so that new information and support will be available after the seminar is over.

In order to fulfill this objective, YALSA has set up an electronic discussion list and an exclusive website for SUS trainers. The private list, YA-Train, is owned and managed by YALSA, who determines who can subscribe. All "Serving the Underserved" participants are already entered as subscribers to YA-Train.

TO SEND A MESSAGE ON YA-TRAIN, type ya-train@ala.org as the address. Messages sent out on ya-train will automatically be sent to your e-mail address.

The SUS website will include all of the information in this handbook plus additional worksheets and activities that YALSA has collected from trainers over the years. The website will also be the place for you to add new information for use by the other trainers, so that they too can benefit from your training experiences. To access the SUS website, you will need a password assigned to you by YALSA.

In addition, YALSA maintains several other websites and electronic lists for more general use.
