** Apologies for Cross-Posting** UK Serials Group announce their next InForum date: UKSG InForum ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A half-day discussion group for workplace librarians ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wednesday 22 March 2006 Royal College of Physicians, London, NW1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you enjoy the opportunity to ‘talk shop’ with other like-minded information people you will benefit from this UKSG meeting. The UKSG InForum is: * an opportunity to exchange ideas and experience * a time to extend your personal and professional networks * a chance to take time out of a busy work-life to consider the context in which you work * an occasion to feel less isolated and alone if you work in professional isolation * a time to refresh your knowledge and find solutions to your problems. The session will begin with a general overview of the topic and then open up for input from all present. Ensuing discussions are always interesting and stimulating with the creative collective input addressing issues of shared interest and concern. This is not a lecture, not a workshop and not a training course. It is an opportunity to brainstorm topics of mutual interest with professional colleagues. “To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe [and share and discuss].” Marilyn vos Savant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Programme 13.00 Registration + lunch + networking 13.30 Introductions Lyndsay Rees-Jones Senior Adviser Workforce Development, CILIP Caroline Moss-Gibbons Head of Heritage Collections, Royal College of Physicians 13.35 Value – understanding and demonstrating your role so that others do too! * What values lie behind your service delivery? * Why should people value what you do? * Are you relevant to the economic viability of your organisation? “Believe that you have it and you have it.” Anon 16.15 Summary + conclusions + depart For further information please contact: Lyndsay Rees-Jones, CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE Tel: 020 7255 0635 [log in to unmask] Fee UKSG members £35.00 + £6.13 VAT (= £41.13) Non-members £45.00 + £7.88 VAT (= £52.88) The fee includes lunch.
