training the trainer: preparing LIS
professionals to train their users
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.
Strictly limited to 8 delegates.

internet
Search Engines
NEW
This is a companion course to
'Advanced Tools for the Internet Searcher' and it focuses exclusively
on Internet Search Engines. 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. Not only will participants be able to spend time looking in
detail at them, the course will also keep them up to date on what is happening
in the field so they can make an informed decision on the best ways to obtain
the information they require using search engines.

tools and techniques that may be used to ensure that such inventions and events

building capability in the conductive
organisation
With
the pervasive use of new technology, work now gets done through virtual tools
which allow for work to get done through unprecedented levels of interaction
and collaboration. This new reality is having a radical impact on the
principles of organizational performance: with 'conductivity',
organizations become 'networks of commitment'. As these
networks become more and more prevalent, work no longer follows the vertical
axes of the organization. The hierarchical structure is reinforced by the
complementary strength of a 'network structure'. While the former
defines strategic direction, allocates resources and orchestrates performance,
the latter becomes the platform for capability building at both the individual
and organizational levels.
This
session will explore the following questions:
·
What do we mean by
'knowledge' and how is it related to learning and capability
building?
·
What 'works' and 'does not work' in leveraging
knowledge for greater performance?
·
What are the respective roles of technology and culture in knowledge
exchange?
·
What are the barriers to making better use of the technology available?
·
What are the elements of an effective knowledge strategy?
·
What are the characteristics of a
highly performing, knowledge-enabled organization?
