Web-based training on library skills

[Smith, Barbara]

I'm gathering information about Web-based training on library skills for
staff development in public, academic and special libraries.  A number of
library schools offer Web-based and other e-learning courses that lead to
degrees.  But what about training that supports the practical work in
libraries, for all levels of staff?  Examples might include a shelving
tutorial for pages; circulation system basics; reference desk skills;
customer service skills.  Are you aware of training or people doing work in
these areas? Do you know of any consultants (individuals or firms) that are
developing coursware for libraries?  Do you know an any Web-based library
learning communities?

I'll be glad to summarize information for the list.
