| Sumario: | In 2012, an academic health sciences library serving a large research university and medical center introduced synchronous online training for a diverse group of users, including clinicians, researchers, faculty, and distance students.

Given the popularity of online training among on-campus and distance users, it will be continued and expanded. |
