Beyond ECDL:
advanced ICT skills for library and information professionals
This short course, delivered over two evenings, will give participants
hands-on experience in several vital areas. While much training of
information professionals relating to ICT has focused on gaining
the ‘basics’ of application use, to be truly effective an understanding of
more advanced concepts is necessary. Areas such as troubleshooting, working
with multimedia types, and understanding issues relating to hardware and
software security all have a direct impact on service delivery.
The course leader will be Alan Poulter, author of several books on the
Internet and web searching for library professionals . Currently a lecturer
in the Graduate School, he teaches in the areas of ICT skills, web design,
XML and information strategy.
Based on content included in the M.Sc programme for Information and Library
Studies, the course aims to build on participants’ existing experience with
ICT.
Areas covered:
• ICT Troubleshooting
• Advanced Web-searching
• Multimedia and plug-ins
• Security Issues
Venue: Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of
Strathclyde, Livingstone Tower, Richmond Street, Glasgow, G1 1XH.
Date: 16th and 30th October 2003.
