$ Understanding and Applying Adult Learning Theory to Improve Library Services (Infopeople) In-Person
Whether it's helping people find information, showing them how to use a new technology tool, or connecting them to resources, providing instruction is an essential aspect of modern library services to adults. Even though most librarians and library staff don't consider themselves teachers, their day to day responsibilities often put them in the role of trainer, teacher, coach and/or facilitator.
This course will introduce practical ideas for applying adult learning principles in order to improve one-on-one assistance, instruction and library programming. It will include an overview of andragogy—a theory of adult learning. Knowing how people learn can increase the chance that the information will "stick." Learners will leave this course able to apply adult learning theories to workplace scenarios, analyze patron interactions to determine when the principles will be beneficial to use, and develop goals for helping adults learn in the library.
