Most, if not all, school librarians concur that funding has been their major problem in recent years. State and local budgets have been slashed, grant money is spread thin, yet still the bar remains high for school librarians to remain on the cutting edge of information trends, issues, and technology, and to provide training for teacher colleagues in buildings. Vendors are among their greatest resources as they all work to reconcile this imbalance. Many vendors offer professional-development in-service sessions onsite or via web-conferencing. Customized professional-development sessions provide a unique way for vendors to assist in building PLNs as the sessions link school librarians and faculty to experts in their fields. Vendors also provide information through webinars. Webinars provide the opportunity to expand PLNs as those attending exchange ideas and make new connections. As school librarians strive to remain on the cutting edge and exceed expectations, vendors will remain a valuable asset. Whether through backchanneling, online conversations, webinars, or face-to-face training, librarians will continue to rely on vendors as a go-to source for information.
