Debbi Boden

Debbi Boden is a Faculty Team Leader at Imperial College London. She is chair of the Library Information Literacy Group and lead on the project to create the College's Online Information Literacy Programme, Olivia. Debbi is also Chair and founder of the CILIP CSG Information Literacy Group whose aim is to promote IL across all sectors, and who recently organised the LILAC 2006 conference.

Her topic was ‘Who trains the trainers?’. Teaching has become core to the remit of many librarians in HE but it is not an area addressed in library schools. Debbi reflected on some of the issues surrounding training and staff development for ‘teaching librarians’ and explained how Imperial College is addressing this issue with their new online Information Literacy Internal Programme – iLIP.
