The Library Graphics Designer produces all graphics the library uses, hard copy and electronic. The Automation and Electronic Resources trainer plans, coordinates and presents all training on automated products. We ll briefly look at what the graphics area involves. The specific applications for graphics are publicity of all sorts, including flyers, displays, etc. The benefits in having a dedicated and professional graphics position are to provide consistency to our images, so they tie together and meet our city standards, and to provide quality, so they are pleasing and effective images.
Training is of major importance.
With more and more products coming online and patrons and staff all being expected to use them, we need to have a way to get them up to a functional level quickly. The format needs to be somewhat flexible. You need to have organized, planned classes to make much headway with a large staff. The classes can get consistent information out to large groups at a time. But you need to also be able to sit down with an individual and work on their specific areas that may apply only to them or on issues that they need particular help with.
