We are exploring working with Lynda.com, a company that provides computer and software training videos. They are only beginning to enter the library market, and this would be one of their first statewide consortial agreements (though they do work with the Massachusetts Library System to provide training for all staff: http://www.masslibsystem.org/continuing-education/lynda/)
Below is an email from Craig at Lynda.com, explaining their offerings and giving the dates for two upcoming webinars. I am trying to gauge the interest from our members right now, to see if this is something that our members want. Right now they only offer access to their videos from inside the libraries, but they are realizing that they will have to move to remote access at some point, and are figuring that part of it out. In the meantime, is this something that would appeal to you as a member? Please let me know so I can count your interest when we begin negotiating (you aren't committing to anything by showing interest).
Also, please note that if you read this and decide it's really awesome, and you want to move forward right away, if you call them direct, you won't get a discount. You will need to order through us to get the best price. Email me with your interest.
