This "Library Training Guide" gives detailed guidance on setting up and maintaining a comprehensive in-house training programme tailored to the specific IT needs of libraries and information centres. It advises managers and trainers on a wide variety of training techniques and approaches that will enable staff to gain confidence and competence in an area which can easily appear overwhelming in its complexity. The major topics covered are aims and objectives of IT training, training levels and cultures, budgeting and administration of IT training, organizing training sessions, transferable skills and continuous personal development, teaching and learning techniques and feedback and quality control. The guide provides practical advice in a quick and concise form and the text is backed by examples of IT training programmes and details of the Elib training programme.
