The EIUG Committee is intending to organise some training events in the
forthcoming year and this message is to update you and to ask for your
feedback to assist in our planning.
Firstly, taking forward one of the suggestions from the Sheffield
conference, there will be an exchange of experience session on Millennium
Cataloguing in Durham on Monday, 28th February. (details to be announced
shortly)
Secondly, the other ideas for topics which emerged from our discussions
suggested that an Innovative-led session would be the best and in some
cases the only way forward. These training events would be charged at the
guide rate of $1000 for a 2-day course, pro-rated as appropriate. Such an
event would need to be hosted by an Innovative site with a training suite
capacity for 10-12 participants. We would hope to be able to stage at
least one and perhaps two of these in 2005.
Graham Woodruff on behalf of Innovative has offered sessions in the
following areas:
Millennium Create Lists and Statistics
Web Opac
Load Profiling
Advanced Systems Administration
I have outlines of each of the sessions which I can forward to you if you
are interested in knowing more and there is also information on CSDirect.
Please would you reply to me indicating:
1. Which of these areas your institution would be interested in in order of
priority
2. How many staff might attend.
3. Whether you would be willing to host a training event and how many
attendees you could accommodate
4. Any other ideas/suggestions you have for training events or exchange of
experience sessions
I look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
