Online MLS Education

The NZIMLS is collecting website addresses of material suitable for Continuing Education purposes. The following is the start of a list of addresses for you to visit. As time goes on we hope to be able to offer material spanning the breadth of all of the MLS subjects.

The material at these sites has been assessed as suitable for CPD points as outlined in the NZIMLS CPD programme booklet. Completion of an educational session allows a claim for 2 points per article. Don't forget to keep a synopsis of the talks or presentations, the length of time spent in the session as well as the date and URL of the site visited.
