LibTeachMeet at Umbrella 1 year, 10 months ago · View
Today I’m at Umbrella 2011 , CILIP’s major library and information professional conference, presenting a poster about Library TeachMeets. The poster will continue to be there on Wednesday, too, though I sadly can’t make it to the conference for its second day. If you’re reading this post because you saw the poster at the conference, welcome! Hopefully you [...] -

Last week Isla Kuhn presented a paper about TeachMeets at the European Association for Health Information and Libraries workshop in Istanbul.
You can see the prezi that she used over on her blog, Musings of a Medical Librarian.

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 [...]

Katie Birkwood wrote a new blog post:
Feedback from our first TeachMeet indicated that people wanted more time to network, or, if that’s a word that makes you shudder, to meet new people and talk to them. We were keen to make space and time for that at the second TeachMeet, but we didn’t necessarily want just to have ‘empty’ time without [...] -

camlibtm II, the next one!: 2 years, 1 month ago · ViewThe 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 Celine – I put this up in a bit of a rush. Will try and add more info about presentations, and speakers’ blogs and twitter as an when time allows.

Our second TeachMeet happened yesterday evening, and I think it’s fair to say that it was a resounding success. We had ten excellent speakers (including two brave souls recruited on the evening itself!), enthusiastic attendees, a splendid venue, and plenty to eat. Video of most of the talks is now available: Liz Osman, Library posters: engaging your [...] -

camlibtm II, the next one!: 2 years, 3 months ago · ViewHello 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 [...]

camlibtm II, the next one!: 2 years, 3 months ago · ViewHello 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.

camlibtm II, the next one!: 2 years, 3 months ago · ViewI’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!

Running out of space? You’ll have to weed out some of the sixth-formers!
In reply to - Jenny Horler posted an update: Spring Term and exams looming for 6th formers and I’m running out of space in the library. There appears to be a lot of revision being done, a sense of panic in the air! And only 6 weeks to half term. · View -

Katie Birkwood wrote a new blog post:
A TeachMeet, Wikipedia informs us , is an ‘organised (but informal) meeting (in the style of an unconference) for teachers to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching with technology.’ In other words, it’s a way of getting all the good stuff from conferences and training courses (hearing and sharing new ideas, meeting new people, [...] -

Sounds great.
In reply to - Celine posted on the forum topic Another Cambridge (lib)TeachMeet? in 2011? in the group camlibtm II : ie basically use the About page as the place to keep links to documents, etc? Good idea. Regular blog good idea, in the run up to and then after the event. Basically could have links from blog posts to the “archive” of [...] · View -

I was wondering about what we really need across the top – think that more extensive options could be listed down the side, perhaps – but couldn’t work out how to change it. I’m sure one of us could find the answer, though! (I think having both ’groups’ and ’forums’ is poss redundant, too.)
In reply to - Katie Birkwood posted an update in the group camlibtm II: Ooh! And I’ve just noticed the RSS link on the group page – assume that’s a feed of all the ’activity’. I’m posting this from the group homepage (under ’what’s new in camlibtm II’), just to see where it ends up. · View - Load More
