Teaching Patrons

WebJunction has collected training materials and resources that have been developed by library staff from around the country. Resources include templates for technology training and recommendations for developing online patron tutorials, an ever-increasing asset in today's busy libraries. Maximizing subject-based expertise within the library, addressing frequent topics of inquiry from patrons, and taking advantage of the growing cadre of available tools form the critical building blocks for developing an effective patron training program.
