Cambridge Librarian TeachMeet

… which doen’t mean it won’t be considered in future! Very useful feedback, thanks Nicky, and delighted you enjoyed it. Looking forward to meeting you again at a future event.

The benefits of a Friday night hadn’t occurred to me, but that’s certainly something that’s worth bearing in mind for future events (not just TeachMeets). Planning discussions did spend quite a long time musing over the benefits of having a couple of hours, or half a day, or a whole day. As Celine said, we [...]

Thanks Nicky! Really glad you found it useful and already putting things into action (I’m impressed) I’ve thought since the first one that a half-day or full-day would be great, think there’s enough scope for it but always have to balance that with people needing time off work/permission to attend to a daytime thing…. Think [...]

I had a wonderful time, so a big thank you to everyone who was involved in organising it. Have already started my job sharing library assistants off on using TeuxDeux (thanks Suzanne!) have some new posters up (thanks Liz!) and am preparing for a meeting about information competencies (thanks John!). I know everyone is pushed [...]

Hello! I currently work as a part time Library Assistant at Anglia Ruskin University. I also recently completed the MA Information Services Management at London Metropolitan University. Whilst I’m looking for my first professional post, I’ve been trying to get my fingers into as many library pies as possible! As well as being a member [...]

Hello Meg – it’s great to meet you (virtually) and I look forward to meeting you in person before too long. I’m very impressed with how you’re getting involved with so many things when you’re just starting a new job, and, I assume, a new country. As for my introduction, I’m Katie Birkwood, currently Hoyle [...]

Hello Jayne,

At last I’ve managed to put a name to a face, and vice versa. As well as Anna Martin’s prezi, Ned Potter (aka the wikiman, who gave the echolib paper at Libraries@Cambridge this year) has some really good tips on how to use prezi: some written tips and examples and a slideshow.

Hello. I recently started as a special projects officer at the Judge Business School library. My job is really fantastic: am getting to start a lot of interesting new services — which I hope to speak about a bit at the TM — and am learning a lot about business databases (a steep learning curve!). [...]

Hi Jayne,
Looking forward to meeting you at the next TeachMeet. I just wanted to check if you found Anna’s prezi about prezi? The video is available on YouTube at http://m.youtube.com/#/profile?user=camlibtmvideo&v=aVQS-opmxGs&view=videos

My normal day job is Reader Services Librarian at the Medical Library – supporting students, researchers and clinical staff in the University of Cambridge and the NHS. This involves teaching literature searching, helping to find those all important papers, and also supporting broader research skills like reference management and planning systematic reviews. I’m also lucky [...]

Hello!
I’m Librarian at Homerton College. We mostly do ad hoc teaching as our students are so varied in their interests. I’m always interested in finding new ways to engage or communicate with them. I’m on the TeachMeet committee now, after going to the first TeachMeet and really enjoying the whole experience.

Hello, I’m Jayne Kelly from the CUL and I work in English Collections, selecting and buying English-language books. I’m also on the ebooks@Cambridge committee (you may have seen me & Catherine presenting a quickie at the Lib@Cam conference in early January.) I thought I’d come along to a TeachMeet as it sounds like it could [...]

I’m staggered by the take up of places at camlibtmII. If you haven’t already seen it, you can register for a place, or a waiting list place on our Register page, http://www.camlibtm.com/registration.

March is still a long way off… Why not introduce yourself here, and we can start talking now!
