There are still some places left for the following conference:
Not just for Library Managers.....
CILIP UC&R and CofHE Joint Conference 2004
E is for Education also for Effectiveness! How to justify your Library or
Information Service
Collingwood College, Durham University 5th - 8th April 2004
Personal, professional and service effectiveness are increasingly
important. Library and information services across the broad educational
spectrum have to continuously prove their contribution to the teaching
and learning process. Justifying expenditure on resources, staffing and
services is an art when, increasingly, these resources, staff and
services are under threat. The Conference theme of
Effectiveness will be explored through three sub themes:
Strategic Issues; Personal Skills; and Curriculum
Issues. A fourth strand, Current Hot Topics will pick up
emerging issues nearer, and during, the Conference itself.
A range of speakers and breakout session leaders from across the FE and
HE continuum will explore issues such as advocacy, measuring the value of
your Library service, the Librarian as entrepreneur, marketing Libraries
and Librarians, futureproofing, peer review of FE Colleges, FE and Public
Library collaboration, making your regional Museum, Library and Archives
Council (MLAC) work for you, innovative induction methods, FE in HE/HE in
FE, impression management, smarter working and technology, effective
information handling skills, VLEs and staff development &.. and many
more!
Apart from the formal conference sessions, this Study Conference is also
an ideal opportunity to network with other informational professionals,
reflect on one's own practice or Library, come away with a new idea or
perhaps to have time out to recharge batteries, be challenged or be
stimulated. Durham is also a very attractive city for all of this to
happen!
The conference will also include the inauguration of Maggie Haines as
President on the Monday afternoon before her keynote address.
