Mapping Competencies - Rescheduled from last year due to illness, this event had been penciled in for October, but had now be moved to November 7th or 9th, to be confirmed by Jacky. This will include a lunch after the session. Emotional Intelligence - To be run by Ash Charlton again, all day on 8th June. RCOG booked as the venue becuase of air conditioned facilites. Negotiation Skills - Ash Charlton, 1st Dec all day, at the London Mathematical Society. This is a newly reburbished venue on Russell Square, with very good rates. Succession Planning - Sara looking at potential contacts for a session in December or January: University of Birmingham, and Pat Noone was recommended from a previous session run by Ema-Link. Widening Opportunites for Staff Development - Formatted like a seminar. Focus on alternative methods of staff development than just putting people on courses. Chris Connolly a potential speaker. Brighton Jubilee / Univeristy of Sussex Visit - This will take place in the summer, most likely in June, using trains to get between London and Brighton and then local transport to get to Sussex. At Sussex we will concentrate upon some of the archive and historical collections. A limit of about 15-18 people will be sensible. Sally to arrange the visits, Dave to arrange transport. Theme visits to Natural History Libraries: Donald to arrange the first three: Natural History Museum - Week beginning 22nd Jan Chelsea - charge of £7 a head, plus £25 for a guide. Option to upgrade the guide to a senior member of staff such as the Curator if available. The cafe is only open to the public on Wednesday's, so 18th April is the proposed date. Royal Horticultral Society - Between May 14th-25th. Kew - Sara arranging: 22nd June prefered date. Scotland Yard - Sara has booked 26th January for this ever popular visit. Oxford exchange of experience day - To take place on Friday 9th March. Could feature an introduction from the Head of Department. The publicity will cover who is available at Oxford Brookes to take part on the day, hopefully enabling us to match delegates to staff from their field of expertise. This will extend to all levels, and we should anticipate some interest from chartership candidates. cpd25 will budget for a charge for the day which will cover transport (by coach from Victoria), lunch and refeshments. 5. Any other business: Beverley and Judith have thought about events on Marketing a library service. This is something not properly covered at cpd25 events before, and is not very well provided for externally either. The possibility of an exchange of experience session was discussed. Claire offered to contact Antony Brewerton at Oxford Brookes about doing a session towards the end of the current academic year. Susan kindly offered her assistance to any one in the group who needs a hand in arranging their events as she did not have anything assigned to her yet. 6. Date of next meeting: 15th February 2007, University of Westminster, room tbc. 7. Lunch: The group was thanked over lunch for their contribution. Thanks were expressed by the group to Jean Yeoh and the cpd25 administrator for their support. |
