This book offers a practical template for training patrons to use
eBook, streaming video, online music, and journal collections that
is practical, adaptable, and most importantly, sustainable. In
order to make your library's expanding digital collection worth
having, customers need to know how to access these online
resources-and it's up to your staff to show them how. This unique
guide explains how to use a device-centered approach to training
library patrons (rather than a system-centric approach) that will
enable staff to more easily assist patrons, regardless of whether
your patrons use Kindles, tablets, mobile phones, or laptops. Using
this approach, staff stay current and can prepare for the next
technology or interface platform to access digital collections. The
book describes different patron instruction scenarios, such as
drop-in, one-on-one interactions, tech petting zoos, and classroom
settings, and explains how to structure and conduct specific
sessions/classes. Readers will learn methods of promoting the
digital collection that can be used in their entirety or a la
carte, depending on your budget and locality. The final chapters
address using social media, print media, and interactive displays;
best practices for target marketing aimed at both in-house patrons
and external customers; and how you can save money when purchasing
equipment. Introduces librarians to a sustainable approach to
teaching or coaching patrons on how to access and use eBooks,
streaming video, digital music, and digital journal collections
Offers a flexible approach that can be customized to libraries of
different sizes and budgets Builds on librarians' reference skills
to stay current with new technologies Focuses on sustainability for
smaller and mid-sized libraries
