Innovative Launches Free Webinar Series

Webinar series includes best practices, training, product updates and industry insights

EMERYVILLE, Calif. April 9, 2020  – Innovative, a ProQuest company and leading global provider of library software, is pleased to announce a series of webinars to offer product best practices, training, and insights for libraries.

“We are pleased to be able to bring this enriching content to our customers during this time when we cannot meet and share in person,” said Innovative General Manager Yariv Kursh. “Offering content to both educate libraries and help them more effectively work from home is a win for everyone, and just the beginning of our plans to deliver more frequent and impactful content ongoing.”
