If you are like most "accidental" library technology trainers, you are expected to take on staff training in your library often with little or no previous experience or instruction. In this month’s Learning Webinar, Stephanie Gerding, author of The Accidental Technology Trainer: A Guide for Libraries, will address the most common concerns of newly minted technology trainers, recommend great tools and techniques, and share helpful advice from her many years coordinating and providing training for libraries of all types around the country.

Find out what an accidental technology trainer needs to know, including:

Why should libraries offer technology training?
What are learning styles?
What are the most important skills to have as a technology trainer?
How can you create a learning community in your workshop?
What are some hands-on activities to increase learning and retention?

Keep the conversation alive by visiting the Training & Development section...share your ideas and resources about technology training for staff. For more help on how to contribute, go to Member Center.
