Internet search engines - 20 January
Rather than having a smaller number of search engines on the Internet there are more and more of them available, all with their own particular strengths and weaknesses. In order to get the most out of the Internet it is becoming increasingly necessary to have a good in-depth understanding of how these work and which one(s) to use in any given circumstance.
Speaker: Phil Bradley, an independent internet consultant for over seven years, and his activities cover training, writing, website design and search engine optimisation. He has probably trained more people in the UK on effective use of the internet than anyone else.

Training the trainer - Day 1: 21 Jan, Day 2: 11 Feb
Training has become an integral part of the job for many library and information professionals, as more information becomes available and end-users access more information from their desktops. The role of the LIS team has expanded into facilitation, as they need to pass on their skills and knowledge to colleagues. This two day course provides the background necessary for you to prepare and deliver appropriate training for your clients, whether the clients are members of your own team, trainee solicitors, corporate financiers, health workers or managing directors. Practical exercises will help you develop your confidence. The two days are split so that delegates have the opportunity to prepare for the second day.
Speaker: Ann Millington, Occupational Psychologist and Associate Director of Organisational Development of a large London Authority
