Customers continue to experience excellent results from Elsevier product trainings delivered over the Web. In April 2004, Americas Account Development Manager Anh Bui delivered an online training to librarians and researchers affiliated with Affymetrix, a US company with multiple locations.
Martha Manion, Senior Manager with Affymetrix's Library and Information Services, reported, "We used WebEx for our introductory ScienceDirect training with great success. We were able to offer a customized multi-site training session, which had participants from six Affymetrix locations!
"We planned the session as a WebEx presentation, but gave participants the option to come to the Auditorium or dial-in from their desks. 40% joined the training from their own computers. "Based on the feedback, the training was well received and accomplished what we wanted."
So, if you're new to online trainings or a seasoned virtual-traveler, please climb aboard Elsevier's Cyber-Train at https://elsevier.webex.com. Here you can sign up 24/7 for complimentary trainings covering products such as ScienceDirect, Engineering Village 2, ChemVillage and Embase.com. These publicly available trainings occur at times good for the Americas and Europe, but customers anywhere in the world may participate.
Any customer needing a customized online training, for a specific group or in a local language, can contact an Account Development Manager.
At https://elsevier.webex.com start times are listed per Eastern Standard Time (the time in the eastern US) and most trainings use the password "learn." All you need to participate is a browser and phone. We look forward to meeting you on the Web!
We look forward to meeting you on the Web!
You can customize ScienceDirect’s user interface to ensure your user community knows they are using full-text resources provided by your library.
A customized banner saying, "Brought to you by the University of ..." can be placed at the top of every ScienceDirect page. Alternatively, you can opt to include your institution's logo or other image in place of this header banner. A footer displaying your institution's logo can also be added.
