“Paula Ryan’s upstairs.”<\/p>\n
[this wasn’t so full of new ideas, more a report back, so I haven’t taken many notes – my own random thoughts-to-self are in square brackets.]<\/p>\n
Have moved from card catalogue to “It’s a jungle out there” (Vye Peronne). Real challenge for librarian at desk. Soothing white space of google – (best friend or false friend?)<\/p>\n
Customers often don’t go with best, they go with quickest. [My thoughts: Cf Ian Brooks: we shouldn’t give them bad experience of telling them off, or trying to force them into searching complicated resources: should offer them the options: “You can do this and get quick but poor results, or do that and get good results but take time.” If they have a good experience now they’ll come back for other, more complicated services later.]<\/p>\n
Continuing professional development issue. [This definitely accords with Ian Brooks: can’t give users options if staff don’t know what they are!] <\/p>\n
EPIC LIANZA training initiative – to train the trainers. [Provide training to all college tutors?] Focus on online skills, not just databases: core strategies that you can use across a range of online resources. [cf Learning 2.0] Set up online forum using Ning.<\/p>\n
Launch of trainers sometime in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
Questions<\/b>
online resources only accessible to trainers?<\/i> Yes because copyrighted and for trainers’ use. But can be adapted for library use. If a district doesn’t have a trainer, best to go through training – resources quite a thick wodge.<\/p>\n
if get training, can we get materials to on-train?<\/i> Yes there’s a part of package designed to be handed out. They feel written material isn’t a substitute for training.<\/p>\n
what characterises your training? (as opposed to ‘geek approach’)?<\/i> Instead of presentation and powerpoints, give a context of information request – series of guided questions – thinking about next step, point of failure, etc. [Adaptible for teaching how to go about assignments?]<\/p>\n
thoughts on online vs face-to-face for teaching?<\/i> Everyone learns differently – some prefer elearning, some prefer face-to-face. Use both to support each other – elearning can’t be only vehicle.<\/p>\n
