[Eril-l] E-Resource Troubleshooting Workshop @ ER&L 2018

[Sunshine Carter]

*Teach Your Staff to Troubleshoot E-Resources: Practical processes to
documenting and implementing a troubleshooting training curriculum*
ER&L 2018 Post-Conference Workshop
Wednesday, March 7, 2018
1:00pm – 5:00pm
Information/Registration: http://www.electroniclibrarian.org
/18-workshop-troubleshooting-training/

E-resource troubleshooting is an increasingly complex and time-consuming
activity in the era of web-scale discovery. With multiple systems and
access pathways involved, effective problem solving requires a
sophisticated bundle of knowledge, skills, and tools. How can librarians
and staff become effective and efficient troubleshooters? Through hands-on
activities and group discussions, workshop participants will learn several
practical approaches to documenting their e-resource access environment,
systems, and troubleshooting methods, then create a framework for their own
e-resources troubleshooting training curriculum. Presenters will cover key
concepts and troubleshooting tools, and help participants understand how to
apply those concepts and tools in their own discovery and access
environments. Participants will also learn how to evaluate training
effectiveness, along with strategies for practical reinforcement of
troubleshooting techniques and skills. The presenters work in an Alma/Primo
discovery environment, but this workshop *is intended to be system agnostic*.
Participants will leave this session with drafts of training documents
specific to their own environments. NOTE: THIS IS A HANDS ON WORKSHOP AND
REQUIRES YOUR PARTICIPATION

Following this workshop, participants will be able to:

   - begin documenting current e-resource access environment, systems and
   troubleshooting methods.
   - draft a framework for a troubleshooting training curriculum.
