Several web-based seminars (webinars) have
also been developed as an educational tool. Webinars are
increasingly used to provide a 30-60 minute presentation that combines
visual Powerpoint slides with audio that can be accessed from your
computer. This Minnesota forest virtual community has d
eveloped a number of
webinars on lean manufacturing, residue utilization, and marketing that
will benefit your business and provides links to over 15 forest
products-related webinars developed by other organizations. The
webinars provide an on-demand opportunity to learn more about a range
of topics and they're easy to use.
Links are also provided to a wide number of trade journals like Wood and Wood Products, FDM Magazine, Cabinetmaker, PanelWorld and others. These journals offer valuable information aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of your wood product business.
