Information about the course:
‘Breaking out of the Box: Extending the health LIS professional role -
skills and strategies’ (BREAKOUT)
Monday 3 March– Friday 25 April 2008
Course aim...
The BREAKOUT course aims to equip information professionals with the
confidence and knowledge required to meet the challenges offered by new and
extended roles in healthcare information with an emphasis on the acquisition
of personal skills and strategies.
Course objectives...
By the end of the BREAKOUT course participants will be able to:
• Assess their own suitability for a variety of extended health LIS roles.
• Identify the importance of self-efficacy as a key strategy when facing new
and unfamiliar challenges.
• Describe the main stages of development to be undergone in pursuit of an
extended role within health librarianship.
• Develop personal strategies to enable them to acquire other organisational
roles outside health LIS that nevertheless build on the information skills base.
• Rehearse appropriate training and development methods that may be used to
effect a transition to new roles.
• Engage with fellow participants in discussing issues connected with
personal and professional development.
Places are available to any information professional who serves staff
working in the UK NHS. The course will be run over a period of ten weeks
(seven taught weeks, one reading week and two weeks for completion of a
portfolio). Course
materials are delivered by email, Web pages and PowerPoint and participants
should expect to spend about 2-4 hours a week on course related activities
over the duration of a course. Further details of the FOLIO programme are
available at: http://cpdfolio.pbwiki.com/.
Instructions to register for a place on the BREAKOUT Course:
There are three ways to join the BREAKOUT course. They are all managed
through the FOLIO Jiscmail list:
Method 1: Via the FOLIO List Homepage.
(http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/folio.html )
From the list homepage http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/folio.html follow
the third bullet point link "Join or leave the list (or change settings)".
Fill in your email address, name, and click on the 'Join...' button. Leave
all other settings on the default settings.
Method 2: Via Email.
Send the command: SUBSCRIBE folio <forename surname>
To either: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
Subject: The subject is ignored by LISTSERV, so can be left blank.
Message: Ideally, all that should be present in the Message body is the
command SUBSCRIBE folio <forename surname>.
Note: Your email address is automatically taken from your email, as is your
name if present.
Example: SUBSCRIBE folio Joe Bloggs
Method 3: Via the Jiscmail Subscriber's Corner facility.
Subscriber's Corner is a powerful tool for managing your subscriptions.
Though detailed to use at first but, once you get used to it, is much more
flexible than other methods.
From http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk select "Subscriber's Corner" from the QUICK
LINKS listing on the left-hand side.
When you are in Subscriber's Corner - On the left-hand navigation bar, type
in "Folio" in the 'Narrow selection' field. Change 'Show' to "All lists"
and then click on Submit.
You should then see a table containing the "folio" list. Tick the box to
the left of folio, at the bottom of the table change the drop down list box
to "Subscribe" and click on 'Submit changes'. [DO NOT select the e-FOLIO list
which is for another course entirely].
NOTE: Once you have submitted your request to join via any of these three
methods you will have registered a booking for the course. Please only join
if you are seriously considering undertaking the course. If your
circumstances change in the meantime please unsubscribe at your earliest
opportunity to free up a place for another person.
If you have any queries about the above, please contact us at:
[log in to unmask] and we will be happy to help.
Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the course!
Diana Papaioannou on behalf of the FOLIO Team.
