Picking up manure from the clean end

My first couple of efforts at getting the document mgmt part of SharePoint across to my users were miserable failures.

It isn't that surprising since I didn't really have a model in mind for them to use in place of the old Hierarchical folder structure. The adaptation requires the X is like Y explaination which in turn must be made into a narritive to become understandable.

Meanwhile, my first efforts made it seem like I'm promising them a pony if only they would start picking up the manure from the clean end.

I've been using the term library and librarian, and that might just be the narritive explaination I need to start with... More thought...
