Abstract

Describes the development, introduction, use and evaluation of a series of worksheets designed for library staff at Bournemouth University. The reasons for the development of the worksheets, designed to be a part of a range of training and development opportunities, are described in this paper. Their value as a self‐directed learning tool is considered and the question posed as to whether such materials can assist the process of encouraging self‐directed learning. The paper considers the usefulness of such materials and the cost in terms of initial and ongoing development.
