D101 – Training Is Not Learning?


Monday October, 17 - 10:15 AM – 11:00 AM
Kate Sheehan, Open Source Implementation Coordinator, Bibliomation ALA TechSource Blogger
Bobbi L. Newman, Consultant, writer, Librarian by Day
Polly-Alida Farrington, Consultant & Trainer, PA Farrington Associates
Emily Clasper, System Operations and Training Manager, Suffolk Cooperative Library System

Library culture is training-focused. We talk about teaching our patrons to fish rather than handing them a fillet, but when it comes to our own learning, we want the seafood platter set in front of us. Library “trainers” Newman, Farrington, and Sheehan discuss the need for cultural change in libraries while sharing their own successes and not-so successes.  Clasper describes the training program designed to keep the county libraries’ staff current with the technology they use every day. The program incorporated workshops, webinars, multimedia, games, and a web-based online learning center, where staff engaged their colleagues in a professional development community.
