Training courses for librarians

IBSS organises cascade training sessions for librarians at individual institutions. These short courses are:

designed to enable librarians to train users at their own institutions
arranged either individually for librarians from one institution or jointly for librarians from several universities within one area of the UK
structured to last for about 1 hour
'hands on' and include plenty of opportunity to use IBSS and carry out trial searches
are free of charge.

To arrange a date for cascade training at your institution, please email Jane Ferguson, IBSS Marketing Manager: j.l.ferguson@lse.ac.uk
