Description
The "Library Training Guides" provide a series of concisely written summaries of the best principles and practice in specific areas of training by experts in the field. They are aimed at practising librarians and library training officers, and give an overview of what can be done in a given situation and in relation to a particular skill, group of library staff or type of library. Each publication in the series supplies working examples of best practice relating to training and staff development across the library and information profession. This guide gives advice on training in the techniques needed for dealing competently and confidently with written and oral presentations. The emphasis is on planning in advance, designing clear outcomes and developing a visible structure to meet the needs of both the presenter and the audience. This book is suitable for those working in both the private and public sectors and provides a handbook suitable for anyone who has to present information which will not only enhance the image of their organization but make the information articulate and clear to understand.
