Library Carpentry<\/h2>\n

Library Carpentry develops lessons and teaches workshops for and with people working in library and information related roles. It is part of The Carpentries, a project that is also home to the Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry lesson projects.<\/p>\n

The goal of Library Carpentry is to empower people working in library and information related roles to work more efficiently and potentially teach the skills they have learned to colleagues, students, and researchers. This is where instructor training comes in. Regular Library Carpentry training is done face-to-face, using the lesson materials which are all available online, under a CC-BY license.<\/p>\n

Instructor Training for Librarians<\/h2>\n

The purpose of this training is to make you a certified instructor. As a certified instructor, you become part of an international network of individuals, who are dedicated to bridging the digital skills gap in academic librarianship and in research. Certification helps to maintain high-quality in the lessons and consistency in delivery standards. Carpentries instructors are better equipped to refine lessons, workshops, and to enhance the movement. You can start hosting Carpentries events on your own campus or within your own organisation. Library directors; having qualified Carpentries instructors on your staff is a great way to enhance the value proposition and effectiveness of your library.<\/p>\n

Who Should Take Part?<\/h2>\n

This training is for anyone working in a library and information-related role. You should take part if you feel you can teach at least some of the lessons in the Library Carpentry syllabus<\/a>. You don’t have to be a prodigy yourself. It’s a matter of self-confidence: You may not realise that you actually know a great amount. When you are teaching people who are new to some of these topics there is a vast gap between your knowledge and theirs. The lessons are well-designed and can take the users step-by-step across this knowledge gap, to a place where they can continue their learning by integrating this into their work practice and self-directed study. This course will really help you bridge that gap in a constructive way. Teaching a Library Carpentry lesson is a very rewarding process because the response to the lessons is often so very positive from the trainees, giving a great sense of satisfaction to you as the instructor.<\/p>\n

This instructor training teaches applicants how to teach. The focus will be on evidence-based education techniques and hands-on practice; as a condition of taking part, applicants must agree to:<\/p>\n
