Library staff are in an excellent position to take advantage of distance learning. Rapidly changing technology and continuing education requirements mean that more library staff are in need of up-to-date and relevant training. Yet budget cuts and busy work schedules make it difficult to take time off work. Distance learning can provide the training staff need without taking them away from their desks for long periods of time. For example, a videoconference on preservation can be downlinked by a library and made available to library staff in-house.
