Part of the professional development we’re involved in as library staff includes attending conferences and reading journals relevant to our profession. Recently the ASL team realised that we don’t have dedicated time in our schedules to get to grips with issues facing libraries at the moment, and so we decided to resurrect the L&UC Journal Club<\/a><\/strong>! We’d like to invite our colleagues from across Library & University Collections to join us to discuss articles and developments in libraries and information sectors at regular meetings throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Are you a member of Library and Universities Collections staff interested in keeping up to date with issues and events in the Library and Information sector, but struggle to make time for professional development? Would you like to prioritise improving your academic discussion skills and network with colleagues from across L&UC?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We will alternate online and in-person meetings from November, and have a rotating chair and moderator system so everyone gets the chance to suggest articles and lead discussion. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday 23rd November 2022<\/strong> at the Digital Scholarship Centre in CRC, Main Library<\/strong>. We’ll be discussing What Academics Really Think About Information Literacy<\/em> by D. Stebbings et al.<\/p>\n

If you fancy joining us or finding out more, search for L&UC Journal Club on Teams<\/a><\/strong> or contact Christine Love-Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> or SarahLouise McDonald.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
