*	"Impressions Management" with Kathy Ennis (Senior Advisor, Dept of
Knowledge and Information, CILIP) 
*	on Wednesday 8th December 2004 (6 - 8pm) 
In an image conscious world it pays to create the right impression - library
and information workers need to keep this at the forefront of their minds.
People who convey an impression of power and status are respected and
admired - people who inspire confidence are often promoted, regardless of
their skills, qualifications and experience. 

This interactive workshop will explore image, impression and advocacy as
personal development tools for the library and information professional. 
*	"Mentoring - Dial 'M' for 'Mentor'" with Antony Brewerton (Subject
Team Librarian, Oxford Brookes University)
*	on Monday 31st January 2005 (6 - 8pm) 
All through the early years of our development as librarians and information
professionals we are offered guidance and support.  Pre-library school
trainers, the library schools themselves and then our Chartership
supervisors all help direct us until we reach the pinnacle that is
Chartership.  But what happens once we have got MCLIP added to our
post-nominals?  It is very easy to feel lost and alone.  One solution might
be a mentor. 
In his workshop, Dial "M" for "Mentor", Antony Brewerton will draw on the
theory of mentorship and on his own practical experience of mentoring to
explore what the mentor/mentee relationship is all about, what types of
mentorship programmes are on offer, the benefits -and drawbacks- of the
process and (finally) some practical tips to help make mentorship work for
you.  So if you are feeling adrift professionally, it might be time for you
to dial "M" for "Mentor".  And if you feel it is time to give something more
back to the profession, well, that call might just be for you...
