Minutes of the cpd25 Steering Group London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, 1.30pm, 24th April 2006 Present: Jean Yeoh (Chair), Janet Smith, Judith Cattermole, David Gee, Carole Pickaver., Caroline Lloyd and Dave Puplett (Administrator). 1. Apologies None 2. Minutes of the last meeting – Minutes not available prior to meeting. Rough notes distributed by Dave, to be placed on Website when complete. 3. Matters arising. LMN – Dave reports that only 2 more events will take place this year. One will be a straight forward seminar, one a summer BBQ. Dave to establish remit of the BBQ with LMN to ensure cpd25 resources aren’t drained. Mentoring Register – deferred until the Exchange Scheme is set up. 4. Task Group Reports TG1 Notes: Chartership expanded to 10 events successfully. Next year might have a middle session for discussion, as a progress update for candidates as they start on their portfolios. Potential speaker could be someone who has just finished such a portfolio or just chartered. Development Day successful but needs clearer advertising so that it doesn’t attract too many graduate trainees. TG2 Notes: One new member, Tony Haworth. Caroline will consult the group about numbers at the next meeting. Copyright course – Annick Ireland from British Library has offered to speak about copyright if we need her at any future events. Dave has her details on file. TG3 Notes: Emma Wilson has joined the group from SOAS. Mergers conference – to be advertised soon, speakers almost confirmed. Lots of potential external delegates should demand be low from the M25 group. TG4 Notes: Sussex visit only event not yet confirmed. TG5 Notes: Could need a new member. Janet to consult the group. Idea store visit was a joint venture with M25/London Health Libraries. This experiment will probably not be repeated due to excessive demand for places. Ebooks seminar was very successful, and likely to return as a more substantial event next year. International Students – planned for July. Still looking for a student from Middle East / SE Asia to speak. SOAS a possible place to ask. Teaching and Learning event on VLE’s postponed until next year. Follow-up to events: After several events this year, delegates have asked for the possibility of follow up discussions after an event has taken place. An email list or web page could be a low maintenance solution to this. Dave to investigate web solutions once the new webpage is established. 5. Finance Update Dave reported that even including the costly summer conference, we are still in a very healthy financial state. Dave to continue with current practices. Jean suggests that a large subsidised event becomes part of the programme for each year form now on. 6. 2006/7 Programme and feedback from Review afternoon. Jean has consulted the M25 group about any events they would like to add to the programme for next year. Two suggestions were: Benchmarking Chartermark Task groups will assess the results from the review session in due course and Dave will liaisie with individual task groups about which visits / event they will run. 7. Exchange Scheme David reported on progress with the proposed exchange scheme since the cpd25 Review afternoon. Those who complete an exchange will be asked to complete a write up for cpd25 of their experience. It will be optional for SDO’s to do a report. Dave should be informed of when institutions agree to an exchange, so that we can keep statistics on the success rate of applications. The group agreed that Heads of service should definitely sign an agreement form before any exchange takes place. A checklist for the scheme has been drawn up, to ensure that expectations for all parties to the scheme are clear. cpd25 should provide an opportunity to train SDO’s about this scheme. This will begin with some info in the yearly pack, supported by information on the cpd25 website. In November a more formal launch will take place, perhaps at an extended chartership event. This could feature a case study of a successful exchange under taken by someone previously. 8. Steering Group and Task Group Operations Jean asked if all Task group chairs were happy to continue their roles. Jean reported that will not remain chair indefinitely, and will look to move on in a year or so. Task group membership – Dave has been in touch with one potential new member for the career development group, and will liaise with David Gee directly. Jean to investigate possible members from London Metropolitan University. The group agreed that the steering group and each task group should be taken to lunch once a year to help build good relations within the groups. 9. Any other business Dave reported that the website is very nearly finished, and will be going live within a few days. Janet gave a brief report on her role London Health Libraries (LHL) Learner Support Steering Group 10. Date of next meeting Week beginning 16th October – Dave to arrange via email.
