networking and opportunities
Date: Tuesday 11 April 2006
Time: 6.30 pm
Venue: The Sekforde Arms, Sekforde Street, London EC1
Speaker: Ben Chan, Ministry of Defence
Ben will show how raising your profile and that of the service you deliver
can go hand-in-hand. He will describe how his own tactics have whisked him
from library shelver to being the subject of a feature in Library +
Information Update. Ben will suggest networking strategies for benefiting
your work, career development and job satisfaction.
Ben Chan, who has qualifications in both Psychology and Information Systems
& Technology, began his career as a shelf tidier with Westminster Libraries
and rose quickly through the ranks to become one of the youngest senior
librarians in the system. He now works for the Ministry of Defence Library
and Information Service and specialises in knowledge management
applications. He is active in the Aerospace and Defence Librarians Group.
Ben plays keyboard in a rock band, is studying for a piano performance
