Cambridge Librarian TeachMeet

Yesterday Niamh and I spoke about LibTeachMeet at the Librarians Information Literacy Annual Conference (LILAC) at the British Library in London.  As part of the ‘New to teaching’ strand, we emphasised how TeachMeets are great for inexperienced teaching librarians to learn about different teaching tools and techniques, and to get some practice in speaking to a group in a non-threatening environment.

Our slides, including various useful links, are now up on Slideshare:

It was great to meet some other LibTeachMeet organisers, including the brilliant Lynne, who’s organising ldnlibtm and is looking for volunteers to help! (Hint, hint…)

We had a really friendly and enthusiastic audience (in true TeachMeet style), and we were very glad to hear afterwards that we may have inspired LibTeachMeets in Vienna and Sweden, as well as venues nearer to home.

If you’re someone we met, or who heard us, yesterday, and you have more questions, please do ask them in the comments here, or get in touch with us via Twitter or email.
