Library TeachMeets popping up all over the place
10:17 pm in Useful Information by Celine
We’ve noticed plans are afoot for Librarian TeachMeets in various other places, so we thought we’d post all the information we have here for anyone who is interested in the idea but doesn’t live in the Cambridge area. A lot of the organising is happening via Twitter so we’ve included Twitter names wherever possible so you can chase down more details. We’re also using the general Twitter hashtag #LibTeachM for discussion of librarian TeachMeets in general, with each individual event also having a specific hashtag (ours is #camlibtm)
Huddersfield Librarian TeachMeet (#hudteachmeet) took place last month and details of the talks and feedback are all posted on their blog.
There are plans for a Newcastle Librarian TeachMeet (#toonlibtm) on May 4th, organised by @hblanchett.
Liverpool Librarian TeachMeet (#livlibtm) is taking place on Thursday 26th May, 10am-1pm and you can register here (organised by @LibraryEmma among others).
A similar event focusing on induction is planned for Tuesdsay 14th June at DMU Leicester, DMUInductMeet (#imeetdmu).
London Librarian TeachMeet, materminded by @_moo_ on Twitter now has its own website and booking is open for an event on 20th June. There are rumblings about organising something in Oxford, see @gallagherliz for more information. And similarly @CarolineCooke is looking into organising something in Bournemouth.
If you know of any others, please just add the information in comments and we’ll try to update here or possibly find a permanent home for this general Librarian TeachMeet information.
