Progress on Sharing Images in a Central Library using Bridge

So far, so good pretty much sums it up. I've held two training sessions with one last one to be given this coming Tuesday -- by then everyone in my client's creative department will have at least had the introductory training session. So far three designers are online and have fully indexed the central library on their respective copies of Bridge; they seem to be searching across the library with no problems.

The remainder of the group's design teams, for both print and web will be indexed this week and searching the library.

I just added a new folder of more than 2k images this last Friday. After informing those designers who had already finished indexing they just went in and a few moments later had indexed the new set of image files -- again, no problem. So adding new folders of image files seems to present little if any challenge.

The next month or so will see virtually everyone in the creative services with access to the library. The next challenge will be fine tuning the keyword strategy.

Also, another ongoing set of issues surrounds the varying level of competency with computers, the specific OS and degrees of competence in picking up new software tools.
