One way I'm trying to do it is to 'force' them to use the web by making it
the *only* source of certain internal documents, eg minutes of meetings, etc.
We are now trying to compile a list of all the software in the department,
along with their licence numbers (for auditting purposes), and I've 
arranged it so that the only way this can be done is via a form on our 
webserver.  The more our colleagues use the web for everyday tasks, the more
they'll get used to it, and maybe begin to think of it as a valuable resource
rather than an expensive toy.
