"The SirsiDynix Institute Web seminars I've attended have been very convenient and helpful. The use of technology is a nice example of how it can be done. Also, making the archive available to those who cannot attend the live seminar, and allowing those of us who did to refresh, is very valuable."

"We have a very small staff and too much work, so getting away for training can be difficult. I appreciate opportunities like this to gather information and help me keep on top of things."

From Presenters:

"Libraries typically look for creative ways to train and develop their staff. The SirsiDynix Institute provides a no-cost solution to shrinking training and travel budgets by providing a forum that truly takes distance education to the next level. The opportunity to share information with so many library professionals, coupled with archiving of presentations, allows for continuing education for us all."

"As a presenter and consultant that enjoys working with libraries and library organizations, the SirsiDynix Institute offers me the opportunity to connect with library professionals around the world to share information from my areas of expertise, without leaving my living room. It feels good to know that these presentations serve professionals that may not have the budget or available staff necessary to leave the workplace for training."

"It's important for librarians to have a place where they can share information and learn from the experiences of their colleagues in the industry. I found the SirsiDynix Institute to be a great and novel venue for delivering a presentation on a timely topic. Also, because the folks at SirsiDynix in no way influenced me to shape my talk around their products and services, it gave me the freedom to do an honest and objective treatment of the issues."

"In 25 years of working with libraries across the country, this is the first program I've found that offers so many librarians and library staff a way to access my seminars for free. I am excited to work with the SirsiDynix Institute to conveniently make my training available to librarians with the accessibility that distance learning provides. As a presenter, this is the first time I have found distance learning to be enjoyable."
