COURSES:
MARCH 2008
BRITISH OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS, Tuesday 4,
http://www.aslib.com/training/1/02.html
You should attend this course if your organisation needs to keep abreast of
current developments in parliament and government; if you have to deal with the
publications but are hazy about the system; or if you need to monitor the
development of policy or legislation.
PRESENTATION SKILLS, Wednesday 5, http://www.aslib.com/training/2/09.html
This intensive course will help you to make memorable and effective
presentations. It is a very practical workshop and you will gain the opportunity
to develop your presentation techniques in a non-threatening atmosphere.
CATALOGUING PRACTICE, Thursday 6, http://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.
CLASSIFICATION PRACTICE, Tuesday 11, http://www.aslib.com/training/4/04.html
If you have some experience of subject indexing, but need guidance or practice
or want to refresh knowledge gained some time ago, this course will give you the
skills needed. Participants are invited to bring typical material from their
collections to form a group of items that can be considered in the practical
sessions. Where an in-house scheme is used, it may be appropriate to bring a
copy of the scheme to the course. Major themes throughout the course are your
users, your collection and tailoring the approach to meet their needs. A
pre-enrolment form is circulated prior to the course to ascertain the
specialised indexing topics of interest to their participants. As far as
possible the practical exercises will relate to these topics.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT, Wednesday 12, http://www.aslib.com/training/2/10.html
This course will provide an overview of the skills and tasks required to

implications for information professionals, information managers, information
architects, knowledge managers and knowledge workers alike.
DEVELOPING YOUR MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS, Tuesday 26,

In today's fast-changing environment it is essential that all managers continue

This seminar will give you an understanding of what knowledge management is, how

most importantly it will encourage you to respond positively to the opportunity
and the challenge represented by this subject.
