It can be difficult to gain experience in this Subject Librarianship and few libraries have roles such as Assistant Liaison Librarians that allow a smoother transition.\n\nIn this online ev ent\, both recently appointed\, and more experienced Subject Librarians wi ll discuss their routes into Subject Librarianship and what they have lear ned along the way. They will discuss the key aspects of the role and provi de advice for those who want to take a similar path. A Subject Team manage r will also discuss what skills are required for Subject Librarians and wh at opportunities you might wish to look at in order to successfully make t he transition. Presentations from the speakers will be followed by a panel Q&\;A\, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions.\n\nProgr amme:\n\n10.00 am Welcome and Introduction\n\n10.05 -10.25 Instruction or Teaching?\n\nA brief review of technological developments\, its impact on information seeking behaviour and adapting our teaching to aid their under standing.\n\nKaren Richardson\, Academic Support Librarian\, University of Greenwich\n\n10.25 -10.45 Alice’s Adventures in Library Land – an ong oing journey to becoming a researcher librarian.\n\nA tale of growing in c onfidence\, experience and collegiality\, and acceptance of never complete ly knowing.\n\nAlice Cann\, Academic Liaison Librarian\, Brunel University London\n\n10.45-11.00 Break\n\n11.00 -11.20 So you want to be a subject l ibrarian?\n\nGreg Leurs\, Digital and Online Teaching Information Consulta nt\, Royal Holloway\, University of London\n\n11.20 – 11.40 Beyond Babel : A Translator’s Journey to Academic Librarianship\n\nEva Garcia Grau\, Information Consultant\, Royal Holloway\, University of London\n\n11.40 –12.00 Panel Q and A\n\n \;\n\nSpeaker biographies:\n\nKaren Richard son: In 1990 I started work as a shelver at Thames Polytechnic. In 1996\, I qualified as a librarian by which time the polytechnic had become the Un iversity of Greenwich.  I have since relocated my home to Hertfordshire b ut still happily work at Greenwich\, despite the commute.\n\nDuring that t ime\, I have among other things been responsible for: managing Athens acco unts and Turnitin. I was also involved in selecting the software for our r epository and I researched and managed a room booking system. However\, my primary role has always been looking after the subject needs of my studen ts and academics\, I am currently covering the School of Computing and Mat hematical Sciences\, School of Digital Arts and the Built Environment whic h is part of Engineering.\n\nFor the last 20 years I have been part-time ( 28FTE) due to managing a long-distance job and childcare. Now my girls are grown up\, I have found time to return to education and completed a PGCer t HE and attained fellowship of the HEA.\n\nWhen not at work\, I play in a brass band performing around Hertfordshire and London\, and on weekends s queeze in cycle rides with the essential tea and cake break of course.\n\n Alice Cann has over 20 years’ experience in libraries\, predominantly at Brunel University London.
