I understand after I attend this workshop, I will be expected to provide a group training or a one-on-one training for targeted library patrons as described in the MN LSTA Plan (for example, Seniors, children, residents unable to access library services due to geographic or technological barriers) on how to find reliable information quickly and accurately to meet their information needs. This can include using key word searching, using online databases, and explaining how end users can submit reference requests to the library staff.
