ALCTS e-Forum: Training for Results: Hard & Soft Skills for Technical
Services Staff

December 5-6, 2017

Moderated by Terry McQuown and Maggie Dull

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Libraries spend a lot of time and resources training staff. However, how do
we know that staff are receiving the right training, in the right format,
at the right time? And how do we know it’s having the intended effect? In
this e-Forum, we will share best practices in training as they relate to
hard and soft skills for technical services staff. Topics include:
conducting needs assessments, ensuring that staff apply what they learn in
training, evaluating training effectiveness, and overcoming obstacles
specific to technical services training.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
