Hello, Below is a description of online training from the Gates Grant that the Texas State Library and Archives Commission is offering. I have also sent this information via the mail. Please let me know if you have any questions. Amanda at CTLS Online Training Available for CTLS Library Directors and Staff The Central Texas Library System is looking for volunteers from member libraries to participate in online training provided by the Texas State Library & Archives Commission (TSLAC). Element K online training classes will be available from the Executrain company for a limited number of participants. The web-based Internet tutorials cover a wide variety of topics which can be taken either self-paced (available 24/7) or with an online instructor at particular times. To find out which classes are self-paced or with an instructor, you must go to the Executrain web page at http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/gatestrain/elementk/index.html. Length of the classes vary from approximately 3 to 8 hours, and the classes are available from any Internet computer. The computer does not need to have the software being taught in the class. TSLAC will be leasing licenses for the two types of courses until September 29, 2004, and students will have almost ten months to complete selected courses. The course options are Office Productivity and Media Design. Office Productivity includes: Access, ACT!, Acrobat, Approach, Crystal Reports, DHTML, Encarta, Excel, Filemaker Pro, Freelance Graphics, Frontpage, Groupwise, Home Publisher, HTML, iGrafx Flowcharter, Internet Explorer, Lotus 1-2-3, Mac OS X, Microsoft Money, Netmeeting, Netscape Communicator, Notes, Outlook, Paradox, PC Troubleshooting, Photodraw, Picture It!, Power Point, Presentations, Project, Publisher, QuarkXPress, Quattro Pro, Quickbooks, Quicken, SAP, Streets, Visio, Vizact, Windows, Word, WordPerfect, and MS Works.

CTLS will have a total of 26 licenses -- 14 productivity licenses and 12 design/media licenses to assign to member library employees (one license per position and licenses cannot be shared). Due to the limited number of licenses available, TSLAC is encouraging licenses also to be limited to one per library. Larger libraries with multiple sites may be able to have more than one license depending on the demand. In deciding to participate, think about which training will most benefit your library. If you are interested in having a license for either the Office Productivity or the Media Design classed and have the permission of your supervisor, please return the registration form by November 19, 2003. Also, feel free to call Amanda Williams at 800-262-4431, ext. 13 for more information.
