The final printed edition of the Fresno County Resources Directory is now available for purchase. Staff has mailed out copies of the new directory to everyone who has already subscribed.
This directory again reflects a major change in the social service delivery system. Around 125 programs are no longer being offered in Fresno County but 130 "new" programs were added. In order to stay on top of all these changes it is time to toss your old directory into the trash and replace it with this more accurate new directory.
If you would like a copy of this LAST printed directory that will be published by the I&R Network, take a moment now to submit your subscription form. A limited number of copies of this last edition have been printed, so if you want to ensure you get a copy of this directory be sure to sign up now. A subscription form is on the inside back cover of this newsletter.
Starting next year there will only be the online directory of services. Need training on how to use the online directory for your staff? Call Joe, Lori or Jason at (559) 488-3857 to arrange training sessions. The Network will also be offering training at the Central Library computer lab; watch the Network News for announcements in the coming weeks.
(This column looks at a wide variety of resources that are available on the World Wide Web. If you have Web sites to feature you think would be of assistance to others, please contact Joe or Lori at 488-3857.)
