CIL2010: Training in the Cloud & Mobile Labs

Stark County District Library's Technology Training Program:
Necessary Equipment & Developing Effective Curriculum for Community
Delores Rondinella, Technology Training Coordinator
Stark County Public Library


Begin with the basics, growth doesn't happen simply with purchase of equipment. Purchase with needs in mind and cross-usage of equipment.

"Build a strong foudation with sturdy bricks." (slide content)

  • Marketing
  • collection development
  • delivery services
  • necessary curriculum changes (quality vs quantity)

Take time to learn what is needed - not what you want to teach with technology training. Take time to work with the community and verify the need for additional library technology support, no replacement, of what is currently being offered by other entities. Continued training sessions, but narrowed focus (slide content):

  • senior surfers
  • regular classes
  • teen tech services
  • job skill series
  • pop computer culture
IT department was key for the success of programs. In answer to training requests, a unique profile for training was created allowing programs to go forward and still meet the IT requirements. Mutual respect and trust was key to ultimate success of the programs and services provided.
