This feature discusses the use of a training needs analysis exercise carried out by library staff at the NHS G reater G lasgow & C lyde ( NHSGGC ) Library Network to support the development of a fit for purpose programme of information skills training. A survey was designed based on a well‐known information skills competency framework and used to gain an understanding of the knowledge skills needed by staff and how library training could best support these. The survey received a good response rate and led to the successful writing of a training plan for the Library Network for the delivery of information skills training. H.S.
