Search 2 project original objectives

• A. To draft a schedule of implementation for
  producing how to search guides for Search 2.0
  and sketch a training programme (cascading the
  training to a wider community in SHAs)
• B. To agree a division of labour amongst the
  groups participants allocating responsibility
  for the implementation of the targets set by
  objective A.
• C. Generate a community of practice that will
  support the participants during the project and
  disseminate good practice beyond its initial
  phase of implementation.
• Issues to be discussed
• a. What challenges did you face (as individuals
  and teams) during the implementation of these
  objectives?
• b. How were these challenges addressed?
• c. In particular was a CoP established?

Feedback from Cascaded Training (1)

• Look at the responses for Q3 (Most useful thing
  learned) and identify at least one positive and
  one negative feedback
• Overview of hubs/functionality
• Additional tips
• Marketing training
• Being aware of shortcomings/bugs of Search 2
• CoP we are all in the same boat
• these sessions are ways of us telling each
  other the answer rather than NLH giving any help
  at all

Feedback from Cascaded Training (2)

• Look at the responses for Q4 (Did the session
  meet your needs?) and identify at least one
  positive and one negative feedback
• Yes benefited from shared comments and opinions
• Helped me to tailor the training
• Yes but more time needed to become familiar with
  Search 2.0
• Not really - beta version wasnt working
  properly
• Expected initial familiarity with Search 2.0

Feedback from Cascaded Training (3)

• Look at the responses for Q5 (How will this
  experience change your practice?) and identify at
  least one positive and one negative feedback
• Deliver cascaded training as workshops/ in depth
  knowledge
• Will help to share ideas with other librarians
  (SHA and beyond)
• Modify searching guides to suit local needs
• Develop suitable search examples
• It will make me delay promoting Search 2.o until
  it is at a reasonable state of usefulness

7
Feedback from Cascaded Training (4)

• Look at the responses for Q7 (Final comments?)
  and identify at least one positive and one
  negative feedback
• Worthwhile session which showed how Search 2
  worked and areas which did not work. Feedback
  from colleagues was useful
• If it works this could be really good
• Not enough time to look at the guides to assess
  their usefulness to the users
• More information should have been provided by
  NLH to help trainers deal with problems beyond
  their control/ NLH Development team not present
  during cascaded training
• I am both a trainer and a user why is this
  dual role not recognised by this survey??
