Health sciences libraries offer a wide range of resources, technologies, and services to those they serve. If they want their users to get the maximum benefit and use from these library offerings, librarians are frequently required to train others who will, in turn, train the end users. A panel will illustrate helpful techniques and tips. A short question-and-answer session will follow.
