Being the Trainer
- If you have to incorporate training into your 'real' job
- Try to take notes as you use a resource or database
- Work on the documentation a little at a time
Keep separate files on your computer for each tool you will teach so you can get to them easily
Add to the instructions each time you use the tool yourself
Note the questions that users (or other librarians) have about the tool
- When possible, recruit help
