Feedback….The tutor highlighted a number of things that I didn’t know
were available. I hope the course will be repeated so all lib staff can attend. Useful to gain knowledge and share it with fellow staff. There is a need for sharing prof dev strategies. Learned good new things. Found it very helpful.
