the Aslib Midlands Branch.
EFFECTIVE END USER TRAINING
21st November 2000, Aston University Library, 2.15-4.30pm
The Internet has made people aware of the amount of information available.
Everyone wants to get involved in information. They know it is there and
want to find out the best and quickest way to get what they want. This has
led to an explosion in end user searching, whether for personal, business
or study reasons.
For the information professional this has meant a shift from the
traditional role of researcher to that of facilitator and trainer. Most
end users need help with information skills as well as technical skills to
use the resources, mainly electronic, at their disposal.
Many information professionals have tackled this successfully and often
without any additional training in how to train or how to measure
effectiveness of their coaching. It is seen as a natural extension of user
focused communication, which information professionals use so well.
This seminar aims to provide tips and practical advice to make your
training sessions more effective and professional.
Speakers:
Linda Norbury, Information Specialist for Engineering, Aston University.
Linda provides the link between Library & Information Services and
Engineering subject groups for both students and staff. She regularly gives
training sessions and has just completed the Postgraduate Professional
Certificate in Teaching & Learning (HE).
Margaret Hughes, Information Services Trainer, DLA.
DLA is one of the UK's top 10 law firms. Margaret is the only trainer in a
law firm who has been specifically recruited to cover staff training in
library and information resources throughout the company.
