SLA Conference 2013: Navigating Networks [Event Ref. No. TG4/SLA]
This event is the sixth annual cpd25 event designed for those who supervise staff, services or both.
The Audience: Senior Library Assistants, Information Services Supervisors, Library Assistants, Information Assistants (or their equivalent).
Following on from the previous successful events, the day will enable participants to discover how to make the most out of different networking methods, both in the physical and virtual worlds.
The day’s overall theme is around the ways in which communicating with colleagues can enhance our skills and knowledge. While we were once limited to meetings, phone calls or email, there are now a multitude of ways for us to keep in touch, ask questions, market and learn. This will be a highly participative day, enabling attendees to share their experiences and best practice.
