Sharing best practice in Library Performance Indicators:
Join cpd25 for an afternoon looking at best practice in setting and monitoring KPIs and making effective use of them alongside our Results Indicators and other metrics that libraries collect. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion
with workshops focussing on using, setting and measuring KPIs as well as considering accountability.
Introduction to Financial Planning
The aim of this session is to understand the importance of sound financial management, sources of funding and the factors which influence financial decision making. With a mixture of presentations, discussion and practical budget planning
exercises using Excel, we will be addressing topics such as the importance of Financial Planning, Budget Planning, ‘The Budget Cycle,’ Budget Preparation and Allocation and Financial Control
The Portfolio Forum
This session is for candidates who wish to learn more about compiling a portfolio. London area Candidate Support Officers will be on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions.
RFID, what next?
Having taken the plunge to implement RFID systems over the last two decades, RFID has moved on and libraries are now looking at how they can use this technology in a smarter way. Join Mick Fortune as he talks about the future of RFID
technology, and other speakers from University libraries employing RFID. You will also have the chance to share your experiences and thoughts as part of the plenary session at the end of the afternoon.
The Changes to the Disabled Students’ Allowance – what does it mean for students, universities and libraries?
In this event, we discover the rationale behind these changes and how they will be implemented, from both a university’s and a student’s perspective Librarians will explain how they have created and fostered
inclusive learning environments and there will be an interactive group discussion designed to encourage you to think about how you and your institution’s library can support disabled students more. Please bring along ideas of you own or think about practice
at your own institution, both good and bad.
Marketing Yourself; Transferable Skills:
This course provides a great opportunity to think more about the life skills we have learnt and to consider how to use them to further career prospects and choices, whether we remain in our current organisation or move to a new organisation
or a different sector. Aimed at staff from all areas and grades of library work, the course offers a new outlook for individuals to take forward when considering their professional aspirations.
Engaging and Supporting Researchers
This event will look at innovative practice in engaging researchers from the slightly different, but highly applicable, perspective of research focused libraries and museums. We will also provide a targeted networking opportunity for
participants to ensure they gain the knowledge they need from the people who have it.
Open Access and Repositories
This event will look at development of open access and its business models, as new alternative to the traditional approach to managing publishing, along with a session on working with altmetrics and metrics in tracking the impact of
research within your repository.
Moving into Management:
Progressing into management is both exciting and daunting. Suddenly you are responsible for directing and managing your peer group. You may get less opportunity to focus on your specialism and now be expected to direct your attention
toward helping others to get things done. How do you harness the power of a team? Motivate others and deal with challenges? This interesting and engaging two-day course will provide an insight as to what it means to be a manager.
Visit to the Tavistock and Portman Library
The Library is a national mental health resource specialising in the psychological therapies, including psychodynamic study of organisations, educational psychology and psychodynamic social work and has many external individual and corporate
members from all over the country because of the specialist nature of the collections. Access to all of the key mental health electronic databases, over 15,000 e-journals and 5000 e-books is provided by the Library, who were also the first NHS library to develop
an Open Access Repository – Staff Publications Online.
