dc.description.abstractA workshop series was created as a non-credit course to meet the university wide need for LaTeX training. Two hundred respondents of an electronic survey that was posted for three weeks on the university portal desired some level of LaTeX training. Pilot workshop modules were offered from spring 2011 - fall 2012 and the original series was offered each semester starting spring 2012. The series evolved from user feedback and empirical evidence including the addition of an online workshop. LaTeX training is grounded in Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education threshold concept, Information Creation as a Process, so it is a natural service to be offered in academic libraries. However, most academic libraries do not offer enough LaTeX training. It is concluded that LaTeX training should be a library service in academic libraries where students are in need of the service.
