Useful webinars with recordings

Pros

The webinars and their recordings that are offered have been a blessing. I often tell my staff to watch the Niche Academy content for advice on handling tough situations at work. I especially found the Homeless Training Institute material very helpful. Sometimes I even print pages from the handouts to discuss with my team during meetings. I get invites to new webinars all the time and even though I sometimes sign up but can't make it, I love that I can always watch the recording later. This is perfect for my busy and unpredictable schedule.

Cons

I've found the software easy to use, though I'm not doing anything too complicated with it.

Great for library training but messy interface

Pros

It was specifically geared towards training library staff which I liked. It was relatively easy to use and it gave me access to important Homeless Library trainings.

Cons

The interface feels a bit clunky and outdated to me and it could use a design refresh with greater functionality. It's also frustrating that staff on shared computers get automatically logged in as the previous user which caused issues during our initial setup.

Well organized online training access

Pros

This program lets me take classes and attend trainings that I normally couldn't go to in person. It's very easy to use and well organized. If I have to stop in the middle of something, I can easily return to where I left off.

Cons

The program seems to work well overall and I really don't have any complaints or cons to mention.
