Training and skills nostalgia
We all moved our desks around on Friday afternoon. This type of desk-swap is great. You get a whole new set of neighbours, a new view and you find all kinds of interesting 'stuff' in cupboards and drawers.
Which is why, on Friday, I spent a few moments flicking though our archive of training brochures and catalogues. How about this course from a 1987 brochure:
So you want to computerise? [a 'non technical course for people about to decide on computerisation']. Or, in 1996, An introduction to the internet ['the focus will be on the World Wide Web using Windows based computers'].
OK, so some things change, but others don't change that much. In 1987 we were offering Management skills for the information manager and in 1996 we ran Time management courses for busy LIS professionals.
Can someone please find me a 'non-busy' LIS professional?
