Getting Credit for Taking a Webinar (Live or Archived)
Verify that the webinar provider is on the list of Training Providers Approved by ISL for LEUs.
Make sure the program is over 30 minutes long in order to get 1 LEU for it.
Some webinar providers issue certificates; many do not. If you don’t get a certificate from the provider, please follow the instructions below for creating an in-house certificate.
If an approved provider’s certificate lists Professional Growth Points (PGPs), CEUs, Contact Hours, or CPDUs instead of LEUs, we will count them as LEUs.
Documenting LEUs for an On-line Program (Live or Archived)
When a staff member views an online event by a provider on this list, Training Providers Approved by ISL for LEUs, the library’s designee in an administrative or Human Resources role shall create and award LEU certificates in-house. (In the case of a Library Director, the HR manager or the President of the Board of Trustees should sign the certificate).
LEUs are awarded, hour-for-hour, for eligible sessions lasting 30 minutes or longer. LEUs round up to 2 after 90 minutes. LEUs round up to 3 after 2.5 hours (and so forth).
Certificates generated in-house may be formatted any way you choose, so long as they contain the following elements:
- Webinar provider’s name
- Proctor/Supervisor’s printed name, professional title, and signature
- Name of webinar
- Date originally aired, date viewed, number and type of LEUs obtained
- Participant’s name
- Download a Sample LEU Certificate.
