ITS will move all training functions previously conducted in the Campus Training Center in the 701 Building to the library. This includes training courses for applications such as the Microsoft Office suite and the Lotus Notes e-mail system.
Library staff will continue to train employees and students how to use licensed databases and electronic journals to find information for education, research and patient care.
“After significant discussions, it became clear it made sense to combine our resources and create a single computer training center,” said Nancy Woelfl, Ph.D., director of the McGoogan Library of Medicine. “This new center will be a significant upgrade from the training facilities that were offered by both the library and ITS.”
Placing the training center in the library is a major coup for the campus, said ITS education coordinator Kim Laursen.
“The new location in the library is beautiful and because it sits in the heart of the campus, it will be easier for faculty and staff to access,” Laursen said. “It’s really a positive for everyone.”
Training in the new center should begin in early February, Dr. Woelfl said.
