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.
