Hello Lucy,
We are planning to include a session on Google in one of our "Finding the
Evidence" (FE) courses to illustrate the principles/dynamics (and
pitfalls!)of searching. My manager has used Google this way in the past and
I have often referred to it in previous training sessions. We hope to role
out an updated FE part 1 course in September.
Best wishes,
Richard Crookes

Hi
I have a question about info skills training, NHS staff and Google.
Has anyone ever advertised a training course as 'Google hint and tips' or
similar? - Did you get a good response and what was the feedback like?
Do you use Google in training sessions? I often get asked about searching
using Google and end up giving some hints and tips out at the end of
training sessions.
I was thinking of marketing a Google session with the limits of Google
discussed and hopefully increasing use of NHS ejournals, NLH etc.
I think I could increase the awareness and use of library services at my
Trust by offering a Google session, and could also save the time of a
Googler by pointing them in the direction of quality resources.
Has anyone got any strong views about this?
I will let you know if we decide to do this and report the results to the
list.
Lucy
