Where to place tutorials, especially when they start adding up? A separate page?

Kathy,
I work for a Lib Consortium so my patrons are actually member libraries in Colorado. We have created rather long in depth tutorials for members and have a separate page listing them. You are welcome to check them out and gather any ideas from them,

You will notice we have also received permission to use some tutorials from other organizations. No need to re invent the wheel sometimes!

It depends on your website. The video may be embedded within a page or open in a new window/tab. A question the tech or website person could better answer.

Thanks for sharing the title of the book, Jeff. I'd love to hear what other types of software people are using, particularly open source solutions.

We'll be doing a webinar in Februray on open source, where there will be an open time at the end for more brainstorming and conversation. Not on the calendar yet, so you heard it here first!

These are great, Ross! And good point, no need to reinvent the wheel, especially if you have little resources to begin with!
