Staff Education
NOTES
- Web 2.0 technology takes much of the difficulty out of creating online resources allowing staff without traditional web skills to work online
- Before staff can fully utilize Web 2.0 tools, they need to understand what they are, how they work, and how they might be used
- Staff education is an important part of building dynamic online resources
- Training needs to be comprehensive and offered in a way that allows as many staff access to the information as possible
- Ideal if a program allows individuals to work at their own pace
- SEE presentation Five Weeks to a Social Library – http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/ online tutorial plan
