Technical services are increasingly requiring input from the library
assistants or recently qualified professionals. These two modules in
Allegro Training Library Assistant training programme will be offered in
London in early December. They look at essential aspects of the main
areas of technical service work.
The Supply Chain & Information Management
The Supply Chain
This module looks at the supply of requested items, including books,
serials and non-book media. You will learn about the three main
supply lines: buying, borrowing, electronic sources
* Understanding and verifying the request
* Options for satisfying the request
* Electronic sources
* Appropriate monitoring systems
Information Management
In this module we examine how users and staff find material in the
library. You will learn the basic principles of cataloguing and
classification and how these can be made to serve the user
* Understanding catalogue records
* AACR, MARC and classification systems
* Creating records for basic material
* Evaluating the end product
(Please note: Allegro Training's full-day 'Introduction to Cataloguing'
course will be held in London in mid-January)
Who should attend?
The courses are for people working in any kind of library. They provide
practical, task-based learning opportunities which will help
participants be more efficient, effective and enthusiastic at work. They
will broaden and enhance library assistants’ skills. The course materials
