What impact will the training component have on libraries?
The Library of Texas Project training component benefits not only librarians, but also records managers and staff from local and state agencies, other state agency personnel, and the general public. Using this technology, TSLAC and the Texas Library Systems will have the ability to reach large numbers of people, either individually or in groups, and to provide training at the time it is needed. This will help eliminate the restrictions placed on TSLAC staff travel to provide on-site training for only a handful of people and provide access to both TSLAC- and System-developed training to anyone with a Web browser, VCR or CD-ROM drive. The goal of the Library of Texas Project training component is to provide a blended approach to training that includes as many opportunities for continuing education for as many people as possible. This blended approach to training will include: 1) On-site lecture/demonstration 2) In-person hands-on training 3) In-person train-the-trainer workshops 4) Inter
