Staff and User Training
Once you understand the basics, it’s time to share that knowledge in your library! When thinking about staff training, consider:
- How to get staff buy-in. Explain why privacy is important and vital to library operations.
- The technical skills of your staff; start out with the basics. This guide is meant to support all staff, including those who are less tech savvy.
- Ways to measure improvements after training and ways to keep the conversation going.
Even a short staff development session with the topics above will make the library, the staff, and your users safer. Use the lessons and activities from this guide to host a staff or user training session. You can also use library privacy and security training materials that are available online.
