WSI Provides One of Its Trainers to the State of Iowa Library PLOW (Putting Libraries on the WEB) Project

Press Release

WSI has recently been awarded a small but important contract by the Iowa Department of Education, State of Iowa Library to provide training in direct hands-on Content Management System usage to groups of librarians at training sessions held throughout the state of Iowa.

This is an important project as it impacts the evolving role of libraries in Iowa. The advancement of digital technology has had a huge impact on all aspects of life, and libraries need to maximize technology usage in order to insure that they maintain the role of a primary information source. WSI's training will break down many of the technological barriers that have prevented librarians from being able to place information on library websites.

The importance of breaking down this barrier was recognized by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is funding the training.

As a company who has helped many private sector clients to overcome this same problem, WSI appreciates the need for high-quality training. The PLOW program is a very professional, trainee-centric and well-planned program which we believe should achieve the highest possible level of success.

WSI is proud to be associated with this program.
