"ASTD's Trainlit database is like having my own private knowledge management system. Trainlit's resources cover the full range from pure theory to everyday practice, from books to scholarly journals, industry newsletters, and everything in between. Having a comprehensive, well-done digest of the relevant references, instead of full text retrieval, means that every search produces a concise overview of the literature that I can quickly scan and decide which resources to consult further."
