Training social services staff to make better use of information: two practitioner‐training courses and their implications

Abstract

Project INISS is a Sheffield University‐based research project originally established with funds from the British Library to investigate information needs and services in local authority social services departments. Further funding, from the Department of Health and Social Security, enabled the project to undertake a programme of information innovations in departments. One of these involves developing training courses in information handling and related skills.
