Webinars are typically one hour in length, with 50 minutes of presentation and
10 minutes for questions and answers. Webinars are held usually on
Wednesdays at 1:00 CST. The ALCTS Continuing Education Committee provides
production and technical support before and during the presentation.
While most attendees of ALCTS webinars are from the United States, we
serve members around the world and invite presentations with an international
