Are you a fan of C-SPAN, Washington Journal, or BookTV? Would you like to learn more about the network's philosophy and get an overview of C-SPAN's organization and programs? If so, this free workshop is for you.
On February 26, from 10:30 AM to noon, Rodee Schneider of C-SPAN will conduct a special workshop for C-SPAN fans, media specialists, social studies teachers, students, state government employees, librarians, and anyone else looking to gain a greater knowledge of C-SPAN and its public affairs resources. The workshop will be held in Room 309 of the South Carolina State Library's administration building at 1430 Senate Street.
Following the talk, there will be a walk-through of C-SPAN's unique and free resources, including

• Health Care Hub, a site featuring resources on the ongoing health care debate,
• C-SPAN Classroom, an educational service for social studies teachers, and
• Congressional Chronicle, a tool for monitoring and tracking congressional bills and members.
