7.3 Introductory sessions and information skills
Some people may not know how to use materials in the resource
centre. They may not be aware of all the different formats of
information that are available, or they may not know how to
use the catalogue or how to browse the shelves using the classification
system. An important role for resource centre staff is therefore
to help users develop skills in finding and using information,
including:
- finding materials - using the classification scheme and
catalogue
- using contents lists and indexes
- taking notes and quoting sources
- knowing what to use materials for, such as:
* diagnosing, treating and giving advice on specific health
problems
* as teaching tools
* to provide ideas for preparing health promotion sessions
or making teaching materials
* as a basis for workshop discussions
* to solve problems
* to assist with research or preparing an assignment.
