Summary
"Many information and library practitioners are involved in training activities in their daily work, and there is increasing interest in accelerated learning and in new approaches to teaching and learning such as neuro-linguistic programming." "This book fills a gap in the literature by applying these new ideas to training in information and library work, but it also covers more well-established ideas about how we learn. It attempts to turn theory into practice by focusing on a wide range of training activities and offering many examples of excellent current practice." "This will be an indispensable deskbook for all information practitioners with responsibility for training either customers or staff, and for library managers, supervisors and personnel and training officers in all sectors."--BOOK JACKET
