Dear All
Am looking to improve my skills as a trainer of others
Just wondered if anyone knows of any training courses for training other members of staff. How to train work colleagues etc. - this can be in cataloguing or other relevant tasks eg. Acquisitions work as well
Preferably in the London area
Thanks
Julian

Apple are playing catch up - there's a lot more Android devices out there already with NFC. We played with reading/writing our library RFID tags a few years ago now using just a stock NFC enabled Android device and one of the many free apps available in the Play Store. So the cat has been out of the bag for quite some time. And lets face it - you're more likely to find tech savvy Android users wanting to mess with your RFID tags than most of the iPhone users.
