    About the SML
    		To top

    The goal of the SML is to provide information that is easy to access, just-in-time, and which contains unique "rich media elements" to service personnel.  Examples of rich media elements include:

    • video clips

    • animations

    • audio

    The library does not serve as a single point of access for product or training information, but rather, it provides quick access to service information that has been created in rich media formats.
