Welcome! Help us help you by providing the following information:

Background: The MHLS Techops team has provided core training in cataloging and circulation training, plus brief single topic lunchtime webinars.  Beginning with the Covid-19 closures, the lunchtime webinars were stepped up significantly to provide weekly opportunities for library staff to have distance learning while working from home.  At this time we would like to step back and evaluate what we are offering and reach out to the member libraries for feedback on future training development.
 
Issue: We need to better understand the needs of the membership for training, understanding that this includes in the immediate time where staff may not be in the building, in the next phase where staff may be in the building without the public, and the future when we are back to being open to the public.  To get a better sense of what the members hope to achieve through training we ask that the survey be completed by Directors, supervisors, and staff to gain the most comprehensive understanding of the training needs.
 
Action: Please complete this survey by August 15th, 2020
Getting to Know You!  This will provide an understanding of our target audiences and how we can best fulfill your training needs.

Question Title

* 2. Which of the following best describes your role with the library.  If you do more Cataloging, but do have some time at the Circulation or Reference desk, choose your primary role.  If your time is split, then choose the "other" option and a few words to describe your work.

This survey has been designed to gather information for both the library and the individual.  Some questions are intended to gather information about your library's training needs and others will be asking you to evaluate your personal training needs.  The survey results will be reviewed from many angles, including library size, staff role, time in role and location.  The answers you provide will help us to not only target our training, but to rethink what the audience for the training might be.  For this reason, it is important that this survey be shared to as many people in the library as possible.  Thank you for participating!
