Learning Access Institute Training Services
The Learning Access Institute's commitment to you only begins with our state-of-the art software - we also make sure that your library
is ready to get the most out of the systems we offer.
At the Learning Access Institute we understand how important training is to the success of your library. We therefore offer a broad array
of training classes, including training offerings to help you to become an effective teacher to instruct volunteers and community residents
in the use of our systems.
From comprehensive up-front needs analysis, project management, training, implementation, customizing and ongoing support options, we are there for you.
Why we are different
The Learning Access Institute, a non-profit 501(C)3 organization, is different from the typical library vendor. Our abiding interest is in
your library and your community, in why you may have never been able to automate or to keep your systems up-to-date, and in how designe and
implements systems that best serve you and your users.
Be prepared
The Learning Access Institute's s training offerings prepare you, your staff and volunteers for the initial implementation and
subsequent on-going daily operational tasks. We provide various levels of hands-on instructor-led classes including training
and course materials for your use to train new volunteers. Our training materials include many QuickGuides
to help you accomplish tasks efficiently and to guide you through the most important steps while using our systems.
