CIL 2009 Day 3 - Learning Solutions Through Technology

Lori Reed from Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Sarah Houghton-Jan from San Jose Public Library gave this presentation on using technology for staff and patron training. Half of the presentation wasn't overly pertinent to particular needs of the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District as it dealt with a lot of remote training issues and the money that Charlotte-Mecklenburg was able to save by using technology to train people across it's large geographical area while not spending it on travel costs and time.

The second part had some duplication with the session from yesterday that dealt with web 2.0 training methods and tips, although the speaker did make several additional points which I think have the potential to be quite useful.
