Educator for Public Library Staff - a full day workshop

This is a practical full day workshop for staff working in public libraries, and has been developed in response to continued requests from public libraries for training. The trainers were previously involved in delivery of the NOF ICT training for libraries to public library authorities throughout Scotland, and are highly experienced and knowledgeable in this area. 

With all the recent developments in public libraries, there is a need for some members of staff to become proficient trainers and support for both:
*	staff in their own use of technology, and also in how to help library users using ICT;    
*	library users, either individually or in small groups, in the use of technology generally and also as a means of achieving lifelong learning objectives. 

The day will include sessions on:
*	developing an awareness of the learning and training process
*	understanding how to plan and develop training programmes and learning materials
*	presentation skills and techniques, using PowerPoint for effective presentations and delivering training
*	knowledge of suitable Internet resources for education and training purposes
*	planning staff training for ICT in the library
*	supporting and assisting learners in the library
*	supporting the trainer's continuing professional development

£165.00 per attendee (including lunch and refreshments)

The trainers were previously involved in delivery of the NOF ICT training for libraries to public library authorities throughout Scotland, are highly experienced and knowledgeable in this area. 

With all the recent developments in public libraries, effective searching for online information has become a key skill for public library staff.

*	how to raise awareness of the importance of evaluating information for quality, and pass this on to library users;
*	staying up-to-date with latest developments in Internet search.
    
This workshop is aimed at those public library staff who have been using the Internet to answer enquiries for some time, and have ideally undertaken some basic training in this area, such as the NOF Core ICT Training.

Information Literacy for Learning. Full day workshop.

The Information Literacy for Learning programme is not yet finalised, however the following will provide some indication of what we envisage covering in this training day.

*	Do you want to explore current thinking around information literacy and learning?
*	Would you benefit from discussing and sharing experiences of supporting users and learners to become information literate?
*	Would you welcome the opportunity to put Information Literacy for Learning into practice?
Information literacy is widely considered to be a vital ingredient in our information society with the challenges of information overload, access to limitless amounts of information in an array of formats, lifelong learning initiatives, enquiry-based learning, etc. But how can we actually support learners, at any and all levels, to develop effective information skills and become information literate? 
InfusionS have drawn on team members long experience of research into the field of information literacy, together with the practical delivery of training in aspects of information literacy, to design this workshop. Professor Dorothy Williams, from RGU, will be there to sow some seeds on the latest thinking, issues and current debates regarding information literacy and learning. 
This training workshop will be relevant mainly to librarians and information professionals working in a learning environment, e.g. school librarians, academic librarians etc, and any others who have an interest in promoting and supporting information literacy in their work environment.
Cost per trainee - 165.00 (including lunch and refreshments)

Best regards
