Title: When Trainees Become Trainers: Empowering Student Interns and Library Staff through Student-Led Technical Skills Workshops Presenter: Angel Su, University of Toronto
Professional development opportunities are in constant demand at the University of Toronto Libraries as staff seek to advance their skills and develop confidence in using new technologies. In response, a group of Electronic Resources and Metadata student interns prepared and delivered a series of workshops teaching data analysis, manipulation and visualization skills using Microsoft Excel. These workshops proved to be mutually beneficial for both students and staff as students had the opportunity to synthesize their knowledge through teaching, and senior staff were able to learn new skills in a comfortable environment under the enthusiastic instruction of junior staff.

In this way, it is possible to build a bridge that allows creating a current update of the 2013 version to fulfill its main objective, but that already works correctly
