This MiJob.info page contains downloadable handouts and trainer materials for classes offered in northern Michigan libraries. Materials are in MS Word or MS Powerpoint format. The materials for each class are divided between those handouts to be used in local library presentations of the workshop and those handouts designed specifically for the "train-the-trainer" sessions offered by each cooperative in autumn 2003 through 2004.

If you have any questions about these materials, please email us.
