Dear All,
Well folks, I've finally got round to reporting on last weeks Preston PDR meeting.
There were five of us - four from the Health sector and an information manager for an advertising company. We librarians certainly are diverse!
The discussion centered on our professional backgrounds and the challenges of our various posts. We had one veteran but most of us were fairly new to the profession.
We appointed a guru, who promptly instructed us to prepare a ten minute talk for the next meeting on how we were going to achieve our PDR. Leadership in action!!
As for the actual method of chartering. Two of us are going for the PDR, one is undecided, our guru is considering the portfolio and one is doing the proforma. We are all Route B's.
>From a personal point of view, it was great to meet my colleagues and fellow professionals on an informal basis. Meeting fellow charterists is also a great motivator! I feel encouraged to really go all out to achieve my ALA. I've set myself a deadline of writing my PDR by the end of 2000. You can hold me to that folks!
The next meeting of the PDR group is on Tuesday 22nd February at the Hogshead on Fylde Rd. We will be meeting between 7pm to 7.30pm.
For all those who expressed an interest but couldn't attend the last meeting, please come along and join in on the 22nd. Looking forward to seeing you all then.
cheers
Fiona
