We (UC Berkeley Library) had started full-blown HTML classes for
our own library staff by February 1995, and repeated almost monthly
throughout that year. This was in support of library staff to assist in
developing our server, which was publicly announced that Fall (it was
actually available much sooner, however). But what we found was
that offering the classes was easy. Having staff attend, and then
do something with what they learned, was quite another thing.
