desktop delivery - support for the end-user
introduction to the course:
The decision to deliver information to the desktop brings with it a
requirement to support the user in using the material successfully. The
ability to deliver effective training first time increases efficiency
for everyone and allows information staff to use their time more
effectively. Information professionals are increasingly committed to
end-user training. This course presents the opportunity to gain the
appropriate skills.
course objectives:
The course is for the information professional who recognises the impact
of end-user access and the changing role of the information
professional. By the end of the course delegates will have:
-acquired practical techniques to support work with the end-user
