No Train or Plane Ticket Required!
In December 2003, I trained library staff and researchers from Tripos Receptor Research Ltd. on ScienceDirect via WebEx. Scientific Librarian Dr. Rachel Benzies organized for 15 staff in the same location to view the training session in one room, put the telephone on speaker, and displayed the presentation on a large screen. This worked very well and we didn’t experience any delays.
Many librarians and library users who have experienced our real-time, online trainings echo Mark’s positive reaction. We are excited to hear Elsevier’s CyberTrain program really does suit our customers’ needs.
Receiving training over the Web allows you and your users to remain at your desks. In 30 minutes to an hour you can tour an Elsevier e-product online and get your questions answered. Elsevier Account Development Managers or relevant product specialists lead all our online trainings.
If you are interested, talk to your Elsevier Account Development Manager about setting up an online training customized for your team. Or you can join one of our freely available trainings covering Elsevier products, including:
- EngineeringVillage2
- ScienceDirect
- EMBASE.com
