Infopeople Project Fact Sheet
What we are: A statewide LSTA project that functions as the training arm of the California State Library. Some other state libraries provide training via in-house staff. California has opted to essentially outsource training in order to leverage the maximum return on investment of training dollars. The Infopeople model provides a breadth of training topics and a depth of training expertise greater than any single library or library agency, no matter how large, could provide.
Training events per year: Between 220 - 250
Number of trainers: Over 100
Number of training topics: Over 150
Number of students: Over 4,000 per year
