RA Training

Hello all, we weren't able to undertake the 3 day training program that was run a few years back. I have noticed this :RA101 Lite: The Revised Training Program for an Introduction to Readers' Advisory on NOVELIST. Has anyone joined up for it? It says it is free to subscribers of NOVELIST- and they have a training program, notes and a powerpoint presentation. Would we have to go through NSW.net? Any thoughts anyone?

Hi there,

Went to look for RA101 Lite but I couldn't see it. I did however see under the heading "Improving RA Services"-RA Training. Upon closer inspection it is a RA course split into 5 units.

Intro to RA Training
Unit 1: Appeal Characteristics
Unit 2: Connecting the Books
Unit 3: Writing Annotations
Unit 4: The RA conversation
Unit 5: Keeping up with New Materials

Looking quickly through, each unit seem to contain clear and simple explanation for each topic, with exercises at the end of the unit. I can't remember all the topics from the State Library RA training, however this course seem to contain the essential elements for RA training, and it's much shorter.

This is good if you want to refresh your RA, however in terms of training, the whole content is copyrighted and it states that "Text is intended solely for the use of the individual user."
