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!

Library Teachmeet Manchester Metropolitan University

Wednesday 22nd January 2014

This is a free event, sponsored by the CILIP Information Literacy Group, exploring anything and everything surrounding information and digital literacy. Examples could include inspiring session content, unique outreach and promotion, thrilling use of e-technologies or, how-on-earth you got embedded into courses – absolutely anything so long as it’s theme-related. 

There’ll be a thrilling Swapshop during the afternoon, giving everybody (including those of you not speaking!) the chance to swap any materials you use during IL sessions – hand-outs, slides, games, blank cheques for good feedback etc. Please bring about 10 copies/items to swap with your fellow delegates!

Tea and tasty biscuits are available from 12.30pm, for a 1pm start, and 4pm end, followed by networking at a nearby café-bar, for those of you who don’t need to dash off. Refreshments will be available throughout the event.
