Chartership and Beyond Event at Lewisham Library

assistantlibrarian — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 10:26:34 +0000

Attended my first ‘Chartership and Beyond’ event in a support role. Very interesting to hear the presentations again at a later stage in the chartership procedings and it certainly reminded me of a few points that I had forgotten but which are very relevant to writing up. Plenty of time for discussion where the attendees were encouraged to think of specific examples to meet the critera and gave an opportunity for them to ask the CILIP representative, the CSO and myself questions. I was pleased that I was able to answer the questions that I was asked (having stated that I hadn’t finished chartering myself yet!) and I do feel quite confident that I know now what I should be including, just a case of taking everything I have collected and organising it and making sure that the evidence says what I want it to. I think one of the hardest things for me will be to decide what evidence can be excluded – the size of the portfolios I have seen (both online and the example at this event) vary so wildly but I already know that what I have at the moment will need to be weeded.

Two main things I was reminded of especially – keep focussing on the criteria at every stage of writing up and remember to use SMART goals in planning -
Specific
Measurable
Action Orientated
Realistic
Timely

CDG Management Seminar – Staff Management

assistantlibrarian — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 18:36:41 +0000

Talk by a member of staff of one of the new Idea Stores; although interesting as I knew very little about Idea Stores the talk didn’t really deal with staff management issues in great depth. The question and answer session was more relevant as issues were raised about management styles, how to gain management experience informally etc.
