We are excited to announce the launch of the DSC PD Blog. Our intention is to use this space to share information regarding professional development opportunities, recognize colleagues for their professional development-related achievements, and with any luck, have a bit of fun and make some new connections. A big thanks to our friends at the Daytona State College Library and the Division of Online Studies for helping us get started.
