MARCH 2007

These are the training courses taking place in March at Aslib's Offices in
London.  More details, including the fee, can be found by following the links:

ENQUIRY HANDLING, Thursday 1st         
(www.aslib.com/training/4/11.html)
Everyone has access to search engines these days, so information professionals
need to demonstrate special expertise when it comes to finding the information
their enquirers need. This course introduces participants to the full range of
basic enquiry answering techniques, showing how it is possible to tackle any
subject, even when you don't know what information sources may be available to
help. Presented by the author of the best-selling Facet Publishing book Success
at the Enquiry Desk, this course concentrates on practicalities rather than
sources, but also includes suggestions for 25 multi-purpose information sources
you can't afford to ignore.   Course Director: Tim Buckley Owen

USING EXCEL SPREADSHEETS TO MANAGE A LIBRARY BUDGET, Friday 2nd (FULLY BOOKED)
New date added: 30th March (pm)
(www.aslib.com/training/2/16.html)
What this course intends is to demonstrate how you can use Excel spreadsheets to
manage your library budgets. To compare what you estimated you would spend which
what you actually spent. To enable you to know at a moment's notice where you
are at any point in time with your actual and newly predicted spend and not have
to spend ages doing a manual reforecast. Common and more complex Excel formulas
will be explored to make your professional life easier and to automate as much
as possible. It is not intended to be a book-keeping course, but is aimed at the
average library manager who is too busy to spend ages on budget management but
for whom it is important they can lay their hands on vital, up to-date
information without having to have a major trawl through past invoices and
catalogue records to try and work out where they are in the spending stakes.
Course Director: Fiona Durrant

ELECTRONIC SERIALS MANAGEMENT, Tuesday 6th
(www.aslib.com/training/4/10.html)
This one-day course will give you an introduction to the theory and practice of
the management of electronic serials and offers the opportunity to gain an
understanding of the rapidly-changing serials environment as well as an insight
into the practical day-to-day management issues relating to it.   Course
Director: Caroline Moss-Gibbons

BUSINESS INFORMATION, Wednesday 7th
(www.aslib.com/training/1/03.html)
Effective performance in meeting business information needs requires an
understanding of the key concepts, jargon and institutions relating to this type
of information and an awareness of the principal sources through which it can be
retrieved. This course meets both needs and is directed at information
professionals who have either not previously dealt with information in the
business field or only limited experience of handling it.  Course Director:
Chris Murphy

BUILDING AND DEPLOYING A CORPORATE TAXONOMY, Thursday 8th
(www.aslib.com/training/4/06.html)
A Corporate Taxonomy is the backbone of an organization's information
architecture. Whether the focus is on records management, document management or
knowledge management, a Corporate Taxonomy is key to effective storage and
retrieval. A Corporate Taxonomy is different from a subject taxonomy in that it
is a taxonomy of business activities. Corporate Taxonomies are therefore
specific to an organisation and have to be custom-built.  This interactive
workshop uses a blend of presentation, discussion and practical exercises to
explain the purposes of a Corporate Taxonomy and to introduce delegates to
technologies, techniques and tools for building and deploying them.   Course
Director: Bob Bater

KNOWLEDGE ARCHITECTURE, Friday 9th
(www.aslib.com/training/3/03.html)
Information Architecture (IA) is evolving in some quarters into Knowledge
Architecture (KA), a compound discipline addressing all the sources of
organizational competence - explicit and tacit - within a single, holistic
framework. In order to add the missing tacit dimension, an additional set of
tools and techniques needs to be included in the Knowledge Architect's toolkit.
This interactive workshop blends presentation, discussion and practical
exercises to consider the evolutionary stages involved in the transition from IA
to KA and to examine the most important tools and techniques involved. It
presents a number of case studies and invites delegates to discuss the
implications for information professionals, information managers, information
architects, knowledge managers and knowledge workers alike. Course Director: Bob
Bater


THE TEN STEP MARKETING TOOLKIT, Monday 12th 
(www.aslib.com/training/2/07.html)
This focused one-day course gives delegates practice in the core aspects of
marketing their information services internally or externally. It is a more
focused and practical version of an earlier 2-3 day course. During the day
attendees will work through 10 practical tools that will help them create value
for their customers through applying effective marketing techniques such as
needs identification, market segmentation, product planning and promotion.
Delegates will have the opportunity to apply these techniques by working on a
small marketing project related to their own work situation.  Course Director:
David Skyrme

BASIC CATALOGUING AND INDEXING, Wednesday 14th 
(www.aslib.com/training/4/02.html)
This course is aimed at people who need to organise a collection of information
but who have little or no knowledge or experience of how to do it. The
collection may include books, periodicals, photographs, videos, computer discs,
Internet page references and other material. The course will show beginners how
to create and maintain control over this material so that required items and
information can be retrieved. The emphasis is on practical cataloguing and
participants are invited to bring typical material from their collections to
form a group of items that can be considered in the practical sessions. The
final section of the course considers how computers can assist in cataloguing
and indexing, with practical demonstrations. However, no prior computer
experience is needed for this.   Course Director: James Shearer

DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT, Tuesday 20th
(www.aslib.com/training/4/28.html)
Most libraries and organisations working with information will create, store,
manage and supply digital information. In order to make sure that these
practices are compliant with the copyright legislation and also to ensure that
these activities are carried out within a controlled environment, it is
essential that they look towards solutions offered by ICT, such as Digital
Rights Management. This one day workshop will provide an overview of the key
areas, solutions and legal landscape relating to Digital Rights Management for
library and information professionals set within an informal learning
environment. Participants will be encouraged to work in groups in order to share
ideas and discuss various issues.  Course Director: Naomi Korn

BRITISH OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS, Wednesday 21st 
(www.aslib.com/training/1/02.html)
What exactly is a white paper?  How is draft legislation examined and passed
into law? What are statutory instruments and how are they examined?  What is the
difference between parliament and government?  If your organisation needs to
keep abreast of developments in parliament and government, then this course is
for you.  Course Director: Dr Chris Pond

HEALTH AND MEDICAL INFORMATION, Thursday 22nd
(www.aslib.com/training/1/08.html)
Those attending the course will already have access to the Internet and will
have a basic familiarity with its workings. The course emphasises the skills
necessary to identify health and medical resources of value to participants in
their work environment. Practical, interactive sessions occupy the major part of
the course, allowing participants to sample a wide range of health and medical
networked information resources and to develop flexible navigational skills and
search strategies. A key theme of the day is to explore means by which the
richness of the Internet can be harnessed to complement and enhance working
practices.  Course Director: Betsy Anagnostelis

UK LEGAL INFORMATION: AN OVERVIEW, Friday 23rd (am)
(www.aslib.com/training/1/12.html)
The course will cover UK legislation from inception through to repeal, looking
at consultation papers, green and white papers, the progress of Acts through
Parliament and onto their amendment and consolidation. The nature and role of
Statutory Instruments as well as where to find them will be covered. UK case law
will focus on the structure of the courts and the progress of a case, how they
are reported and how to locate unreported judgments, the difference between a
transcript, a law report and unreported cases and how they are cited, including
neutral citations.  Course Director: Fiona Durrant

EU LEGAL INFORMATION: AN OVERVIEW, Friday 23rd (pm)
(www.aslib.com/training/1/13.html)
The course will cover the full range of EU legislation ranging from Treaties to
pre-legislative progress. It will include how to find out how a particular
Directive has been implemented in any specific member state. For case law, it
will take a look at the European Court of Justice, Court of First instance.
Other related information will also be covered including merger decisions and
tender notices.  Course Director: Fiona Durrant

CATALOGUING PRACTICE, Tuesday 27th 
(www.aslib.com/training/4/03.html)
If you have experience of cataloguing or database compilation but need guidance
or practice using AACR2 and MARC (including MARC21), or want to refresh
knowledge gained some time ago, this course will give you the skills needed,
including some practice in using online public access catalogues (OPACs) and
thinking about their design criteria. Participants are invited to bring typical
material from their collections to form a group of items that can be considered
in the practical sessions. This course is not aimed at complete beginners; they
would benefit by taking Aslib's companion course "Basic Cataloguing and
Indexing" <http://www.aslib.com/training/4/02.html>  prior to this course.
Course Director: James Shearer

CONSTRUCTING A THESAURUS, Wednesday 28th - Thursday 29th 
(www.aslib.com/training/4/05.html)
Most text retrieval systems require the support of a structured and defined
vocabulary to perform effectively. In-house systems often fall short of their
potential performance, mostly because of an inadequate supporting term
vocabulary. This course is excellent for those who need to develop an
understanding of using language to construct a thesaurus. It is of particular
value to database managers, librarians, information officers and system analysts
operating and developing text retrieval systems outside the library environment.
The two days will involve a mix of lectures, discussions and practical work.
Course Director: Dr David Bawden
