Topic Series: Best Practices in Information Skills Development

April - June 2015

Information skills development is essential for those who work within information centres and for their users. This Topic Series covered:

• Why "training" doesn't work and what your alternatives are
• Examples of successful projects from the field
• How to take key concepts and make them practical - what motivates your learners, which learning styles suit them and specifics such as how to turn subject expertise into practical skill development
• Key tools and approaches, such as learning platforms and in-house vs outsourced training.

This Topic Series, which ran from April - June 2015 examined skills development from the perspective of information managers who need to train their centre staff and users in other departments. With case studies, product reviews, discussions and market overviews, this Topic Series is a valuable opportunity for learning and dialogue for information managers across a range of industries.
