While I have yet to attend one of SirsiDynix Institute’s web seminars live, I have downloaded and listened to several of them from the archive and enjoyed them. A large number of the topics really fit well with the LIS 2600 class I am taking – Intro to Information Technology. I’ve also listened to some management sessions and some Pat Wagner sessions. I’ve seen her speak live a few times and always learned something.
I really enjoy being able to download seminars (and classes for that matter!) to my MP3 player and listen to them while I’m doing dishes or cleaning. I’ve even listened at work on a closed day while I’m shifting the books or weeding the collection. Multitasking like this is a tremendous benefit that 21st century technology offers us – and that our busy society almost demands of us so that we can get it all done – whatever that “all” may be.
I think it’s important for librarians to find free resources like these and utilize them – especially in library-budget-challenged times.
