The New York State Library, in partnership with the Public Library System Directors Organization (PULISDO) and the New York Library Association, is pleased to announce the creation of "Training on the Go!", a pilot online training program that includes a variety of library-related skills for all levels of public library staff.
Participants have their choice of online courses from two providers: Element K and WebJunction. Courses range from office productivity (such as Microsoft Office and web development and design) to grant writing, management skills, and other library-related topics. Once registered, participants will receive an access code that will remain activated for up to one year, giving them ample time to complete their online training courses.
"Training on the Go!" is funded by the Gates Foundation as part of the Staying Connected Two grant program, one of the many activities sponsored by this grant program for the purpose of enhancing and expanding technology training for public library staff members and trustees who assist with public-access computing. Due to Gates funding restrictions, only public library staff are eligible to participate in the program.
