Approach
Training was agreed before any change in job descriptions of liaison librarians was decided.
Librarians are professionals with own experience and concerns to bring to training.
Small group, private setting, plenty of time for discussion, sharing stories.
Emphasis on facilitation rather than teaching; expert presence not necessary, though useful for settling unanswered questions.Slide6
