This short course, delivered over one day, 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.
