ARTstor has just announced that training is available to all users:

April 22, 2005

Content:

• WebEx Training Sessions for Individual Users
• Training Session Agendas
• Instructions for Attending a Session

It is with great pleasure that we announce the availability of regularly scheduled online ARTstor training sessions. Through our WebEx site (http://artstor.webex.com), all ARTstor users can  register and attend one or all of our three training modules. It will no longer be necessary for these sessions to be planned at an institutional level.

We believe that this approach will greatly enhance the convenience of obtaining ARTstor training. Attendees can log into the WebEx site from any location where they can be connected to the Internet and on the phone at the same time – their office, dorm room, home. We hope you will help us spread the word!

If you prefer, you can also go directly to http://artstor.webex.com and click on the “Join now” link next to the session title.
