I'm going to blog about this next week, but in the mean time, y'all should go read my friend Vardibidian's post about library "training" "webinars" here: http://www.kith.org/journal... because it's hilarious and all too true. Especially the paragraph about fraughtness.
Brings back memories of software training that lasted three days and consisted of sitting in front of computers and watching the trainer flip through hundreds of word-covered, no-pictures-at-all PowerPoint slides for 3 whole days. The lone hour we were allowed to do some hands-on work ended abruptly when the trainer said that having so many people (15 or so) logged in was bogging down the system.
