The VIVA Resources for Users Committee will present four hands-on training sessions for VIVA public service librarians this summer. Trainers from Lexis-Nexis, EBSCO and Thomson-Gale will provide intensive training in their databases. VIVA librarian experts will follow with instruction in MathSciNet, BioOne, and the ACM Digital Library.

Due to the nature of the hands-on facilities, space is tight and registration will initially be limited to two persons per institution.
