Library TeachMeet - Librarians sharing teaching ideas with librarians

What is TeachMeet?

TeachMeets are informal gatherings of (originally) teachers, designed to allow the sharing of ideas. Find out more in this post about the history of TeachMeet.

What about Library TeachMeets?

Back in July 2010 Isla Kuhn blogged about TeachMeet, and suggested that this model might work for librarians too. A number of other Cambridge librarians loved the idea, so the idea of a Cambridge Librarian TeachMeet was born. The team at camlibtm have written and blogged about their experiences, so follow the links to find out more. Since then there have been many more library teachmeets!
