Housekeeping Mention directions to facilities, entrance, exits (if appropriate) and details for refreshments, lunch, etc.
- #5 Who has organised the workshop and who is participating. If appropriate introduce the host organisation and your own organisation. Detail how the workshop has been set up and funded. Give details of the materials development: originally written and delivered by AGORA Outreach staff (modelled on INASP training materials). Training is continuing process of evolution; comments will be solicited. Amendments will be made after this workshop and subsequent workshops, which will be delivered by partner organisations. Explain the ‘travelling’ nature of the workshops and say something about the planned workshops in the series.
- #6 Brief outline on what the workshop is all about and why it is being run. The basic aim of the workshop is to provide you (the participants) with the knowledge and skills whereby you can use effectively AGORA, the electronic journals provided by the publishers, and related electronic resources (e.g. bibliographic database services and Internet search engines and portals) that are increasingly available within libraries. It will help you to develop cascading training resources that can be used to pass on these skills and knowledge. This is hopefully the first of many such courses within this and other organisations.
- #7 Go through the aims and objectives of the workshop Expand those that you feel are most relevant, especially if some of the objectives have been mentioned by participants as being things they want to obtain from the workshop. When all the objectives have been detailed, try and relate the stated workshop aims and objectives to those mentioned by the attendees in the ice breaker. Hopefully they will correspond/closely relate in most areas.
- #8 The format that the training sessions will take Informal (stress this point, two way communication is important to the success of the workshop) Teach yourself with support Activity based group work Cascading resource — for use by librarians, lecturers, academics and students back at their university/departments Take the materials and experience you gain here and pass them on— materials are available free on the Web Ask questions at any stage: encourage participants to say if they can’t hear, don’t understand any abbreviations or jargon, are having language problems, are finding the pace too fast or too slow. It is a pretty intensive course, so stay alert and please let me know if there are any problems. Finally introduce the course materials, which have been duplicated and distributed to each participant.
- #10 Thank you and any questions?
