Learning (and Teaching) On The Job: Developing and Extending the Skills Needed to Deliver Information Literacy Workshops

This article aims to bolster confidence in early career librarians or other information professionals who may be new to delivering presentations to student groups. By sharing their experiences, three librarians discuss the skills needed and show that these skills can be developed. Tom Guest, who joined the library as an early career professional in 2015; Katherine Turner, a mid-career professional who has been with the organisation ten years and only took on teaching responsibilities four years ago; Karen Carney, who joined Leeds Beckett’s Academic Support Team in 2012 soon after ending a previous career in the Civil Service.
