Before working on Inspire\, I also worked for a large mu seums group in the north east\, Tyne and Wear Museums\, in order to develo p a better understanding of the links between the library and museum secto rs. \n\nWorking with Inspire has given me an opportunity to get to know an d understand other library sectors than the academic one and to appreciate more fully both the differences and the similarities in what drives them\ , what slows them down and what enables them to work effectively. \n\nAda m Edwards\n\nAdam Edwards is Head of Library Academic & Research Services and Deputy Librarian at Roehampton University\, being responsible for the academic liaison librarians\, library resources and library staffing.

No. TG3/CRLIA] DESCRIPTION:Are you concerned about the ability of staff to keep up with th e challenges of being equally skilled to work in customer services and ano ther section of the library service? Do your users really get the experien ce you want at the help desk from everyone who works there? Has the introd uction of self-service brought about changes to your frontline services th at make it a challenge to ensure staff across all teams meet the same stan dard? And do your staff have the appropriate time in other sections of the library to work efficiently?\n\nThe role of library/information assistant s is evolving at an increasing pace: within 10 years many libraries have c hanged the role of helpdesk staff from being book stampers and debt collec tors to something far more complex\, including providing much of what used to be thought of as professional level enquiry support. More recent devel opments mean that staff may now be required to floor-walk or roam to take services out from behind the helpdesks directly to the user\, to cover vir tual enquiry services\, and in many cases to provide information on behalf of other services such as IT\, Student Services\, educational support and so on. Often\, such staff will spend only a proportion of their time in t his role\, and the rest carrying out work in another section\, such as acq uisitions\, liaison support\, inter-library loans etc.\n\nThis interactive half day event will explore\, through a series of short case-studies prov ided by three M25 Group institutions\, how viable it is for library/infor mation assistants to continue to work with ‘split-roles’ and still pro vide the best customer service experience as well as having sufficient tim e to be fully skilled in their other area(s) of work. Tensions between job variety\, understanding users’ needs through face-to-face engagement an d staff flexibility\, will be considered alongside the increasing challeng e of maintaining staff skills. Aimed at customer service managers\, and ma nagers of other library sections\, there will be opportunity for attendees to share their own views and experiences.\n\nProgramme:\n\n1.30 - 1.40pm: Welcome and Introduction\n\n1.40 - 2.05pm: Matthew Brooke\, Royal Hollowa y University of London\n\n2.05 - 2.35pm: Rachel Nelligan &\; Laura Saps ford\, UCL\n\n2.35 - 3pm: Ros Ogden\, St Georges\, University of London\n\ n3 - 3.20pm: Refreshments\n\n3.20 - 4pm: Group discussion\n\n4 - 4.15pm: - Feedback session and conclusion.\n\nVenue: The Hardy Room at the Londo n Mathematical Society\, 57-58   Russell Square\, LondonWC1B 4HS\; Websit e: www.lms.ac.uk\n\nPlease note that there are limited places available fo r this event.\n\nTo book a place please use our online booking form or ema il the administrator via cpd25@london.ac.uk\n\nCost: £60 for members and £90 for other institutions.\n\nCancellations less than one week before the event will be charged a 50% cancellation fee.

It has enj oyed the patronage of many eminent writers\, academics\, politicians and r eaders throughout its history and has long played a central role in the in tellectual life of the nation.\n\nT.S Eliot was president of The London Li brary from 1952 to his death in 1965. Internationally acclaimed artist Emm a Sergeant donated a portrait of Mrs T. S. Eliot (Valerie) to the Library\ , which now sits on the central stair and signals the entrance to T. S. El iot House - a fitting commemoration of her magnificent generosity to the L ibrary.\n\nThe visit will include a tour of the library\, information abou t the history of the library &\; its collections and the viewing of so me archival material.\n\nAddress: The London Library\, 14 St James's Squar e\, London.

No. TG1/RLT] DESCRIPTION:Twitter – #cpd25_RLT\n\n \;\n\nAcademic library staff tr aining and development typically encompasses internal courses\, LIS qualif ications and CILIP chartership\, events held by organisations like cpd25\, and the wealth of conferences and meetings that our profession so excels at putting on. However\, some library staff choose a different path\, opti ng to achieve qualifications or experience in areas which are\, strictly s peaking\, outside of what we might narrowly think of as ‘for librarians ’. Others are prepared to look abroad for the chance to gain greater exp erience and insight.\n\n \;\n\nAt this event\, we will hear from four speakers who have done just this. Elizabeth Charles\, Assistant Director a t Birkbeck College\, is a certified member of the Association for Learning Technology (CMALT)\, a peer-based professional accreditation scheme aimed at people whose work involves online learning. Sarah Wolfenden\, a Subjec t Librarian at Brunel University\,  has a Preparing to Teach in the Lifel ong Learning Sector (PTTLS) award\, a City and Guilds qualification often held by teachers involved in adult learning. Marina Burroughs\, from the U niversity of East London\, is Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Aca demy (AFHEA)\, a certification held by a number of librarians but not usua lly library assistants without an LIS qualification\, as Marina is. Paul A llchin\, a Reference Specialist at the British Library\, recently enjoyed an internship at the Austrian National Library in Vienna\, and experienced a style of training he describes as more akin to an apprenticeship.\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nAs this list suggests\, the theme of the afternoon is also about taking responsibility for our own development\, something the four speaker s have clearly done. As our profession diversifies and develops\, many mor e of us will consider alternative approaches and this event is therefore a chance to hear from people who have already made that leap. The seminar w ill hear from each speaker\; they will describe the process they went thro ugh and also reflect on how it has helped them in their current role\, and how it might benefit them in future ones\, too. While it may be of partic ular interest to library staff who are involved with programming staff tra ining\, we hope it will appeal to any librarians interested in developing their own career. The four presentations will be preceded by a lunch and f ollowed by an informal discussion session\, allowing delegates to come tog ether and share ideas.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nProgramme: \n\n13.00-14.0 0         Registration and lunch\n\n \;\n\n14.05-14.25          Elizabeth Charles\, Birkbeck College: Certified Membership of the Association for Learning Technology (CMALT)\n\n \;\n\n14.25-14.45          Sarah Wolfenden\, Brunel University: Preparing to Teach in th e Lifelong Learning Sector (PTTLS)\n\n \;\n\n14.45-15.05          Marina Burroughs\, University of East London: Associate Fellowship of t he Higher Education Academy (AFHEA)\n\n \;\n\n15.05-15.25          Break\n\n \;\n\n15.25-15.45         Paul Allchin\, Britis h Library: on his placement at the Austrian National Library\n\n \;\n\ n15.45-16.25         Breakout discussion and questions\n\n \;\ n\n16:30                     Close\n\n \;\n\nVenue :\n\nThe Exchange Room\, City Business Library\, Guildhall\, Aldermanbury \, London EC2V 7HH\n\nWebsite – http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/business/ economic-research-and-information/city-business-library/Pages/default.aspx \n\n \;\n\nCost:\n\n£75 for members and £112 for other institutions. \n\nCancellations less than one week before the event will be charged a 50 % cancellation fee.

It will measure undergraduate e ducation at present but postgraduate education is likely to be included an d measured in future years.  It will be an annual exercise and will affec t both reputation and finances – TEF outcomes will inevitably be used by prospective students deciding where and what to study\; and a university ’s ability to raise student fees (in line with inflation) will be direct ly linked to its TEF award (Gold\, Silver and Bronze).  A statement of fi ndings from the assessors will be published in conjunction with the award. Participation in the TEF is not obligatory\, and in order to be eligible for TEF\, institutions need to have an approved access agreement and a jud gement of satisfactory teaching quality.\n\nThe first TEF results were pub lished in June 2017 which was considered to be a “trial year” and the distribution was 26% Gold\, 50% Silver and 24% Bronze.\n\nAt this event\, we will have talks from speakers about the TEF aims and implementation and how it will be affecting academic institutions.

Dr Alfred Wiener\, a German J ew\, having fought in WWI\, returned to Germany in 1919 and was horrified at the surge of right-wing antisemitism\, which blamed Jews for the defeat .\n\nDr Wiener worked with the Central Association of German Citizens of J ewish Faith to combat antisemitism\, writing\, lobbying and speaking publi cly. From 1925 (the year Hitler published Mein Kampf) he perceived a great er threat from the Nazi Party than any other antisemitic group or party. U nder his influence an archive was started just to collect information abou t the Nazis\, which formed the basis of campaigns to undermine their activ ities.\n\nDr Wiener and his family fled Germany in 1933 and settled in Ams terdam.  Dr Wiener's first archive is believed to have been destroyed. La ter that year he set up the Jewish Central Information Office at the requ est of the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Anglo-Jewish Associat ion.  The JCIO essentially continued the work of the earlier archive.\n\n Following the November Pogrom of 1938\, Wiener prepared to bring his colle ction to the UK.

Since starting Dot Sign Language in 2011 she has made it her mis sion to deliver first class and inspiring lessons in BSL and Deaf Awarenes s. A priority for her has always been to make the learning process enjoyab le\, as much a social event as an educational experience. Kathleen also en joys going out to local schools and youth groups to give them a taste of B SL\, Deaf awareness and Deaf culture. She strongly believes that we should try and engage all young children and get them to learn this beautiful\, visual language. This way we can reduce that gap between Deaf and hearing people and help eliminate social isolation of Deaf people of all ages.\n\n Apart from her teaching duties\, Kathleen plays a full and active role in all aspects of Dot’s business. This includes marketing\, future planning \, finance\, website content and update and basic administration. A relati vely recent achievement that has excited her is the challenge of designing her own curriculum and assessments in BSL\, to deliver a Stage 1 course t o undergraduates and postgraduates at the University of Surrey. This has r equired her to bring BSL in line\, as far as possible\, with the eleven sp oken languages in the program. BSL has quickly became a firm favourite wit h the students. Kathleen now delivers three Stage 1 courses each year and this year\, for the first time\, she was asked to deliver a Stage 2 course .\n\nIn her previous career Kathleen has been a Disability/Deaf Campaigner for four organisations: National Union of Students (NUS)\; RNID\, BDA and Disability Rights Commission (DRC) between October 2000 and September 201 1.

In this role he has lead ership responsibility for Libraries\, Museums\, Archives\, and Special Col lections. He has been a librarian for almost 30 years and has previously w orked in senior roles in Russell Group and post-1992 university libraries in the UK.   Stuart is a member of the Jisc Library Strategy Advisory G roup\, Chair of the Jisc Library Hub Community Advisory Board\, and Chair of the M25 Consortium of Academic Libraries.  He has published articles a nd given conference papers on content strategy\; process improvement\; pos t-pandemic planning in libraries\, and\; libraries\, sustainability and th e United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\n\nRobert Curry\, Oxford B rookes University. Having had experience of public\, school\, FE and HE li brary work\, for the last nine years I have been the Associate Director of Learning Resources for Oxford Brookes University. I look after Academic L iaison Librarian Teams and more recently Digital Services - the universiti es’ central learning technology team whose activities include technology experimentation (e.g.\, 3D printing\, virtual reality\, photogrammetry). This year I completed my Doctorate in Education and have recently had an a rticle based on my research accepted for the Journal of Librarianship and Information Science. My research explored the tensions in the potential su ccess of maker-learning in HE as supported in academic library makerspaces through a North American HE library case study. The themes of inclusivity \, diversity and sustainability were found to be the key challenges for ac ademic libraries to address through the ‘relational agency’ (Edwards\, 2017) of library staff for successful maker-learning outcomes to occur. M y research also proposes a potentially transformative new concept for acad emic libraries supporting cross-disciplinary maker-learning: Critical Mate rial Literacy (CML).\n\nSergei O’Farrell\, University of Westminster. Se rgei is currently a Collections Engagement Librarian at the University of Westminster. During his time at UoW\, he completed a 3-month secondment as a Collections Project Manager\, with the aim of reducing the collections immediately and improving long term stock management processes. As a resul t\, he critically evaluated the project\, and undertook in-depth research in the area of weeding for a dissertation as part of an MA in Information and Library Studies at Aberystwyth University.\n\nTom Mason\, Royal Colleg e of Art. I am a library assistant at the Royal College of Art\, and I’v e recently completed an MSc in Library Science at City\, University of Lon don. During my studies\, I researched such topics as art information resou rces and publishing\, the RCA’s classification system for art monographs and exhibition catalogues\, the climate crisis and footprint of informati on technologies and services\, and librarians in relation to the theories of the contemporary philosopher Luciano Floridi. I am currently co-authori ng a shorter\, follow-up article based on the research presented here\, to gether with my City dissertation tutor\, David Bawden.\n\nBeyond my employ ment and studies\, I am a practicing artist and writer tending to work wit h painting\, drawing\, poetry and non-fiction. I have lived and worked in Bristol\, Amsterdam\, and Berlin\, and completed an MA in Fine Art at Cent ral Saint Martins in 2011. I currently live in Catford\, South-East London \; a five-minute walk from the vantage point of Blythe Hill\, and a fifty- minute walk to my studio in Lee. My commute involves differing combination s of walking\, mainline trains\, bus\, and tube\, and takes between sixty and ninety minutes\, this of course depending on the variables and vicissi tudes of London and its navigation.\n\nJanan Nuri\, Royal College of Nursi ng. I started working in libraries when I joined the Royal College of Nurs ing Library and Archive Service in 2016 as a Customer Services Information Assistant. I'm also Chair of the LGBTQ+ Staff Network at the RCN. Previou sly I'd been in lots of different jobs\, from being a tour guide to workin g in Westminster to presenting a local radio show. In 2018 I started my Li brary Science MSc at City University\, and completed the degree this year with Distinction. I am interested in the professional identity of libraria ns\, how we market our services and how we communicate with library users and the wider public. I also have a passion for continually learning more about everything to do with libraries.\n\nAnne Watson\, British Museum. An ne studied English and French at Sheffield University. She lived in the wo nderful sunny Poitou-Charentes region of France for a year\, where she was an English Language Assistant at the local lycée and for students from t he national circus school. She moved to London to start her librarianship career at City\, University of London in 2014. She became the Collections Librarian for the Egypt &\; Sudan\, Middle East and Greece &\; Rome departments at the British Museum in 2022. Anne commenced her distance lea rning LIS Masters with Aberystwyth University in 2017. Her research topic was inspired by a conversation she had with a library user about bibliocla sms\, which led to discovering that the term 'vandalism' was coined during the French Revolution. This research would not have been possible had it not been for the wonder that is the digital humanities.\n\nWhen not studyi ng or working in the library\, she enjoys fencing\, ballet\, learning fore ign languages and astronomy. Anne volunteers at the Hampstead Observatory\ , and believes that the night sky\, much like a good library\, should be a ccessible to anyone.\n\nCost\n£40 member institutions\n£80 non member in stitutions\n\nIncludes lunch and refreshments\n\nInformation for attending \n\nThis event will be a face-to-face event\, taking place at:\n\nLSBU Hub \n\nLondon South Bank University\n\n100-116 London Road\n\nLondon SE1 6LN\ n\n \;\n\nElectronic CPD attendance certificates can be provided on re quest.

Since starting Dot Sign Language in 2011 she has made it her mission to deliver first class and inspiring lessons in BSL and Deaf Aware ness. A priority for her has always been to make the learning process enjo yable\, as much a social event as an educational experience. Kathleen also enjoys going out to local schools and youth groups to give them a taste o f BSL\, Deaf awareness and Deaf culture. She strongly believes that we sho uld try and engage all young children and get them to learn this beautiful \, visual language.

This ha s required her to bring BSL in line\, as far as possible\, with the eleven spoken languages in the program. BSL has quickly became a firm favourite with the students. Kathleen now delivers three Stage 1 courses each year a nd this year\, for the first time\, she was asked to deliver a Stage 2 cou rse.\n\nIn her previous career Kathleen has been a Disability/Deaf Campaig ner for four organisations: National Union of Students (NUS)\; RNID\, BDA and Disability Rights Commission (DRC) between October 2000 and September 2011.

We will provide practical steps to help attendees actively prom ote engagement with BSL users ensuring accessibility\, and our ‘hands on ’ session in our virtual breakout rooms provide attendees the opportunit y to learn basic fingerspelling and BSL relevant to your organisation.\n\n Dot's teachers are all Deaf BSL users. They are the best people to teach t heir language and answer your questions from personal experience. They wil l teach the session in BSL – so you can immerse yourselves in sign langu age. We will provide an interpreter to voiceover the session and interpret your questions.\n\nTrainer:\n\nKathleen Grehan\, Director\, Dot Sign Lang uage\n\n\n\nKathleen is a Deaf graduate of the social sciences and a quali fied teacher of British Sign Language with a particular interest in BSL li nguistics. Since starting Dot Sign Language in 2011 she has made it her mi ssion to deliver first class and inspiring lessons in BSL and Deaf Awarene ss. A priority for her has always been to make the learning process enjoya ble\, as much a social event as an educational experience. Kathleen also e njoys going out to local schools and youth groups to give them a taste of BSL\, Deaf awareness and Deaf culture. She strongly believes that we shoul d try and engage all young children and get them to learn this beautiful\, visual language. This way we can reduce that gap between Deaf and hearing people and help eliminate social isolation of Deaf people of all ages.\n\ nApart from her teaching duties\, Kathleen plays a full and active role in all aspects of Dot’s business. This includes marketing\, future plannin g\, finance\, website content and update and basic administration. A relat ively recent achievement that has excited her is the challenge of designin g her own curriculum and assessments in BSL\, to deliver a Stage 1 course to undergraduates and postgraduates at the University of Surrey. This has required her to bring BSL in line\, as far as possible\, with the eleven s poken languages in the program. BSL has quickly became a firm favourite wi th the students. Kathleen now delivers three Stage 1 courses each year and this year\, for the first time\, she was asked to deliver a Stage 2 cours e.\n\nIn her previous career Kathleen has been a Disability/Deaf Campaigne r for four organisations: National Union of Students (NUS)\; RNID\, BDA an d Disability Rights Commission (DRC) between October 2000 and September 20 11. She is committed to equality and empowerment for D/deaf\, disabled and all diverse groups within society.\n\nCost\n£25.00 members\n£50.00 non member institutions\n\nInformation for joining:\n\n This session is virtu al and will run via Zoom.

They are t he best people to teach their language and answer your questions from pers onal experience. They will teach the session in BSL – so you can immerse yourselves in sign language. We will provide an interpreter to voiceover the session and interpret your questions.\n\nTrainer:\n\nKathleen Grehan\, Director\, Dot Sign Language\n\n\n\nKathleen is a Deaf graduate of the so cial sciences and a qualified teacher of British Sign Language with a part icular interest in BSL linguistics. Since starting Dot Sign Language in 20 11 she has made it her mission to deliver first class and inspiring lesson s in BSL and Deaf Awareness. A priority for her has always been to make th e learning process enjoyable\, as much a social event as an educational ex perience. Kathleen also enjoys going out to local schools and youth groups to give them a taste of BSL\, Deaf awareness and Deaf culture. She strong ly believes that we should try and engage all young children and get them to learn this beautiful\, visual language. This way we can reduce that gap between Deaf and hearing people and help eliminate social isolation of De af people of all ages.\n\nApart from her teaching duties\, Kathleen plays a full and active role in all aspects of Dot’s business. This includes m arketing\, future planning\, finance\, website content and update and basi c administration. A relatively recent achievement that has excited her is the challenge of designing her own curriculum and assessments in BSL\, to deliver a Stage 1 course to undergraduates and postgraduates at the Univer sity of Surrey. This has required her to bring BSL in line\, as far as pos sible\, with the eleven spoken languages in the program. BSL has quickly b ecame a firm favourite with the students. Kathleen now delivers three Stag e 1 courses each year and this year\, for the first time\, she was asked t o deliver a Stage 2 course.\n\nIn her previous career Kathleen has been a Disability/Deaf Campaigner for four organisations: National Union of Stude nts (NUS)\; RNID\, BDA and Disability Rights Commission (DRC) between Octo ber 2000 and September 2011. She is committed to equality and empowerment for D/deaf\, disabled and all diverse groups within society.\n\nCost\n£25 .00 members\n£50.00 non member institutions\n\nInformation for joining:\n \n This session is virtual and will run via Zoom.

Univer sity staff find themselves worrying about coping with strong emotion\, cha llenging behaviour and noncompliance. In this 3-hour online workshop\, we will examine approaches to managing student behaviour supportively and col laboratively\, while maintaining an appropriate environment for learning a nd teaching support. \n\nProgramme:\n\nProblems and Principles\n\n Intro s: I hate it when…\n Chat: listening debrief\n Talk: categorisation an d summary\n Chat: Discussion: reasons for behaviour\n Group work: Advoca cy\n Debrief: Good general principles\n Talk: Starting well—the 3 S’ s\n\nWe start with an exercise which makes clear why people can sometimes behave badly\, and establishes values for a good conflict-free approach. H aving established basic values\, the course goes on to look at potential a reas of conflict between the client and the librarian. First\, we look at beginnings – what kind of environment the student encounters when enteri ng the library in terms of layout\, signage\, and other signals. This lead s into a discussion about effective voice and body language for creating a positive encounter\n\nPractical Techniques\n\n Group work: delivering cr iticism\n Chat: cultural differences\n Group work: dealing with strong e motion\n Debrief: defusing situations\n Talk: shutting down encounter— gears\n Chat: finishing gracefully—dessert/coffee\n\nNext\, we look at how to successfully deliver difficult information\, e.g. criticism for tal king in the library. In a series of exercises we look at delivery of ‘cl ean communication’ to get willing compliance from the library-user. Afte r a short session on cultural differences in communication\, we go on to s ee how to defuse strong emotion and complaints. Only then do we go on to a method to use when positive resolution is impossible: the gears technique . The day finishes with a quick look at ‘closing’ techniques: how to e nd encounters which are going on too long.\n\nTrainer:\n\nAsh Charlton\, C reative Director at Ace Training\, has been delivering useful and enjoyabl e training courses for over 20 years.  His clients include universities\, charities\, local authorities\, central government and the UN.

Leventis Library at Cambridge Conservation Initiative a nd Library Services Adviser at Anglia Ruskin University:\n\nWhen she gradu ated with a BA in English Literature in 2016\, Ellen had no idea what she wanted to do next. What followed was several years of retail\, marketing\, and optical work. Inspired by the highly-trained and well-connected optic ians she was working with in that final role (you can know people professi onally that you don’t actually work with?)\, she realised that she wante d a profession and not just a job. After a bit of soul-searching and weigh ing up of existing skills and interests\, she landed eventually on librari anship as the career to pursue (with “funeral director” as a close sec ond place – for reasons that are not so different\, such as a desire to help people and wanting a quiet place to work). Starting out as a Graduate Trainee in 2021/22\, Ellen is a new library professional in her third and final year of an MA in Library &\; Information Studies. Alongside this \, she works part-time in two different libraries: a university library\, and a wildlife conservation library.

Univer sity staff find themselves worrying about coping with strong emotion\, cha llenging behaviour and noncompliance. In this 3-hour online workshop\, we will examine approaches to managing student behaviour supportively and col laboratively\, while maintaining an appropriate environment for learning a nd teaching support. \n\nProgramme:\n\nProblems and Principles\n\n Intro s: I hate it when…\n Chat: listening debrief\n Talk: categorisation an d summary\n Chat: Discussion: reasons for behaviour\n Group work: Advoca cy\n Debrief: Good general principles\n Talk: Starting well—the 3 S’ s\n\nWe start with an exercise which makes clear why people can sometimes behave badly\, and establishes values for a good conflict-free approach. H aving established basic values\, the course goes on to look at potential a reas of conflict between the client and the librarian. First\, we look at beginnings – what kind of environment the student encounters when enteri ng the library in terms of layout\, signage\, and other signals. This lead s into a discussion about effective voice and body language for creating a positive encounter\n\nPractical Techniques\n\n Group work: delivering cr iticism\n Chat: cultural differences\n Group work: dealing with strong e motion\n Debrief: defusing situations\n Talk: shutting down encounter— gears\n Chat: finishing gracefully—dessert/coffee\n\nNext\, we look at how to successfully deliver difficult information\, e.g. criticism for tal king in the library. In a series of exercises we look at delivery of ‘cl ean communication’ to get willing compliance from the library-user. Afte r a short session on cultural differences in communication\, we go on to s ee how to defuse strong emotion and complaints. Only then do we go on to a method to use when positive resolution is impossible: the gears technique . The day finishes with a quick look at ‘closing’ techniques: how to e nd encounters which are going on too long.\n\n"I came away from this feeli ng very positive\; I really enjoyed listening to what Ash had to say and h ow he broke each scenario down. I got a lot out of hearing from other atte ndees how they diffuse difficult situations\, and it was fun!" Attendee\, November 2023\n\n"The session was great - very engaging. I think the exerc ises were useful and timed well. The discussions around cultural behaviour s were interesting\, too. Lots of material covered."

Since starting Dot Sign Language in 2011 she has made it her missio n to deliver first class and inspiring lessons in BSL and Deaf Awareness. A priority for her has always been to make the learning process enjoyable\ , as much a social event as an educational experience. Kathleen also enjoy s going out to local schools and youth groups to give them a taste of BSL\ , Deaf awareness and Deaf culture. She strongly believes that we should tr y and engage all young children and get them to learn this beautiful\, vis ual language.

This includes marketing\, future planning\, finance\, website content and update and basic administration. A relativel y recent achievement that has excited her is the challenge of designing he r own curriculum and assessments in BSL\, to deliver a Stage 1 course to u ndergraduates and postgraduates at the University of Surrey. This has requ ired her to bring BSL in line\, as far as possible\, with the eleven spoke n languages in the program. BSL has quickly became a firm favourite with t he students.

It can also be diff icult to gain experience in these areas of librarianship\, partly because few libraries have roles such as Assistant Liaison Librarians that could a llow a smoother transition.\n\nIn this event\, three Subject/Liaison/Speci alist Librarians will discuss their roles and what they have learned over time. They will highlight some of the skills needed in the role and provid e advice for those who want to take a similar path.
