Are you next in line to create a program or event that involves training
library users?
Are you expected to train colleagues in your library after attending a
workshop?
Are you the only person in your library who knows how to use an essential
database, Web site or application--and would feel more comfortable if
others shared your knowledge?
Would you like to do more to position your library as a learning
destination?
If you find yourself in any or all of these situations, you'll benefit from
improved training skills. In this workshop you can learn to improve your
organizational and presentation skills AND make the
training you provide to others both fun and worthwhile.

following proven guidelines for training materials, and gain experience and
