Explore MERLIN and a few useful library related-blogs and/or news feeds.
While MERLIN remains relevant for locating training opportunities throughout the state, parts of the site now appear underused and suffering from inattention. Several of the discussion topics have had no posts since 2009, and there seem to be few active users on the site. It's probable that the initial plans for MERLIN envisioned a larger library workforce participating in making the site more of a clearinghouse for information. That seems not to have occurred, most likely because of shrinking budgets, smaller staffing complements and thus, less available time for librarians to network.
It's still a good first stop if you are looking for training or self-directed instruction in areas of technology, however, and a good place to stop in from time to time, just to see what is available out there.
