Dear NETTRAINers

At our university we are currently developing a program designed at
assisting all Library staff to acquire a set of core IT competencies.
 Such competencies cover Internet & browsers, email, basic PC and
Windows, Intro to Word Processing, network awareness and information
retrieval.

We are interested in developing an instrument which will help
staff to determine whether or not they have acquired the core
IT competencies.  If they are lacking, they will be directed
to appropriate in-house training and resorces.  Our current thinking
is that this instrument would be a self-assessment measure eg
checklist or questionnaire.

Has anyone had any experience of using a self-assessment instrument or
know of any resources available on this topic?  .  Has anyone else
developed a set of core IT competencies for their workplace?
 (We are trying to be as generic as possible in developing our
competencies list.)

Would also be interested in any opinions or comments from the
list.

Many thanks
