TAAAC – LSP Our Next Steps Review program from 2008 beginnings through 2016. Incorporate evaluation comments from our training sessions into future sessions. LIMITS Internet access was not available in every classroom where sessions were held, which resulted in lectures/PowerPoint demos only, rather than hands-on. The team is in Addis for only two weeks, which meant that they were unable to accommodate all requests from residents for training in 2012. BOTTOM LINE The training sessions reinforce and sustain medical library skills for AAU librarians. The train-the-trainer aspect results in further outreach by the AAU librarians. Use of the Ptolemy Project by clinical residents and physicians has increased.
