• "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...
