[TG1/ASPECTS9_SUB JECT] DESCRIPTION:Twitter: @cpd25_M25 #cpd25\n\nThis workshop is part of the cpd2 5 Aspects programme\, aimed at library staff looking to acquire additional skills and knowledge or staff working towards Chartership.\n\nThe positio n of Subject Librarian – or Liaison Librarian\, or Information Specialis t\, or any number of other variations – remains a key one in most academ ic libraries and is one that many new professionals aspire towards.\n\nHow ever\, it can be difficult for staff in Library Assistant or similar roles to make the move up into this area of library work as it is often a signi ficant leap up the career ladder. It can be difficult to gain experience i n this Subject Librarianship and few libraries have roles such as Assistan t Liaison Librarians that allow a smoother transition.\n\nIn this online e vent\, both recently appointed and more experienced Subject Librarians wil l discuss their routes into Subject Librarianship and what they have learn ed along the way. They will discuss the key aspects of the role and provid e advice for those who want to take a similar path. A Subject Team manager will also discuss what skills are required for Subject Librarians and wha t opportunities you might wish to look at in order to successfully make th e transition. Presentations from the speakers will be followed by a panel Q&\;A\, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions.\n\nProgra mme:\n\n10am    Welcome -  Paul Terry\, British Library &\; Zoe Tho mas\, Kingston University\n\n10.05    Paula Funnell\, Faculty Liaison L ibrarian\, Queen Mary University of London: ‘Top tips for effective teac hing’\n\n10.30    Q&\;A\n\n10.35    Lauren Dolman\, Subject Lia ison Librarian\, Middlesex University: ‘Master of one?
