You Can Do I.T.! How to Empower Library Staff with Basic Tech Management Skills | TechSoup for Libraries

You Can Do I.T.! How to Empower Library Staff with Basic Tech Management Skills | TechSoup for Libraries | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Library services rely heavily on technology, but many libraries face the challenge of staying up to date with technology, especially when it comes to basic information technology (I.T.) concepts. While libraries may have I.T. managers or access to I.T. services, few front-line staff receive training in basic I.T. concepts. Having adequate training can build confidence when managing public access computer and working with patrons.

Library staff development toolkit: Welcome  | Newcastle University Library

Library staff development toolkit: Welcome  | Newcastle University Library | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Welcome to the new staff development toolkit for Newcastle University Library staff.

It aims to help all library staff keep up with news in their field, find out about training and other events, and develop their knowledge and skills via self-paced online activities. It's divided into different categories so you can pick and choose topics of interest to you, and dip into it quickly if you haven't got much time. Much of the content will be updated regularly, so do keep coming back.

Above all, we want it to be your resource, so please submit any links, suggestions and activities, and we'll be happy to consider them. You can do this via your rep on the staff development group (see right) or through online options on the different pages.

“Hands-Off” Teaching: Conversation as Pedagogy in Library Instruction

“Hands-Off” Teaching: Conversation as Pedagogy in Library Instruction | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

I have an abiding belief that learning begins in conversation. Both instincts and my own experience in the classroom tell me that when you engage a student in conversation about their “topic” you are often engaging them in a way that gives voice to an idea that has just been rolling around in their heads, one they may be really struggling with and not even know how to approach. When they engage with each other, they become part of what I have previously called a community of scholars — making meaning and contributing to knowledge together. Which is also how learning happens.
