"The great number of online exercises were invaluable."
"It's fantastic to be able to use a computer and the software throughout the workshop. These tools make the workshop lessons learned more realistic and applicable to daily life. Much better than two days of theory without practice."
"Even pace; excellent explanations. The presenters have the ability to make things appear deceptively easy." - Michelle Falke
"Before coming to the workshop, I felt like I didn't have control over how my finding aids displayed. Now I feel empowered to make significant improvements in style and usability."
"I think the workbook is fantastic, comprehensive, and easy to follow—and also makes it easy to see how to apply and change small pieces. It is obvious a lot of thought and effort went into it."
