Encouraging staff to lunge

A couple of weeks ago, I met with other site champions and the Acting Staff Development Co-ordinator, to discuss progress of the Library's 21 Lunges program, and ways to encourage more staff to take it up.

I have presented a few training sessions to staff at my site, which focus on what the terms Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 mean, with some examples of Web 2.0 applications in action at the Library already, and explained why we are encouraging staff to do the program. They are going well. Last one tomorrow. I helped two staff staff set up their blogs in these sessions, so I am really pumped!

From next week, I'll set up some regular times in a Seminar Room, if staff want to ask questions, need help, motivation, or just a time and space to go through the exercises.

Hopefully by me doing this, it will mean more take up the challenge.
