We would like to hear from any authority that has organised separate training on customer care or floor walking or one that combined both. We are particularly interested in in-house training provided by acknowledged companies (not CILIP), consortia or individuals. Which external provider has your authority used? Was the emphasis of the training and content tailored to the library environment? Was it cost effective and did it address your specific requirements? Any comments and feedback is welcome and I will also post a summary of responses. Many thanks Cyprian Marah Cyprian Marah Knowledge Manager (Hackney Libraries) Health & Community Services Hackney Service Centre 2nd Floor - South Zone 1 Hillman Street London E8 1DY T: (020) 8356 2568 E: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Hackney Council may exercise its right to intercept any communication, the only exception to this would be confidential survey data, with any employee or agent of the Council using its telephony or data networks.
