2. What have you included to show that you understand the
objectives of
your organisations and how
effectively these objectives are met? As I have
already discussed this in section one of the submission, I am at a bit of
a
loss what to include here. I don't want to repeat
myself.
I included our university and library aims and objectives as documents in
the portfolio, and then concentrated on using the statement and
evaluative introduction to show how the aims and objectives are being met
by all the other work I'm doing. As I understand it, discussion of aims
and objectives is meant to be an on-going "theme", rather than
demonstrated by a specific document.
3. How have you shown
"awareness of a range of current issues of general
concern to the profession". Again, I have discussed this in the
submission,
but have not produced anything additional that covers
this.
I didn't include anything additional on current issues, but found that
they were covered (I hope) by other documents I included
e.g. one of the current issues I talked about was plagiarism and CILIP's
code of ethics, so one of my portfolio documents was an exercise I wrote
on how to use references, which also doubled up as an example of user
education. Another issue was MARC21 standardization, so I included our
MARC21 conversion plan, which again doubled up as an example of staff
management.
Of course, my application hasn't been accepted yet, so I can't guarantee
I was doing it the right way!
