Tuesday, 31 July 2012. Thing 12 - reflections on social media. Having been congratulating myself on being up-to-date with all things CPD23, I now find myself falling behind once more. I'm off on holiday next week so busy this week getting everything ready. That means no time to look at things 13, 14 or 15 - and by the time I come back from holiday I really should be on 16! Well, having got this far, what’s changed for me? Social media can lead to better communication. Not yet for me, but I can see that f...

Tuesday, 11 September 2012. Thing 15, Attending, presenting at and organising seminars, conferences and other events. Much earlier in my career, I loved conferences. I just couldn't believe that I could go and stay in nice hotels (some had swimming pools! Are there any subjects on which I feel I could speak? If you have a burning idea for a great event, now would probably be a good time to talk about it! 16 September 2012 at 14:30. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nia's blog: Thing 10 - CPD and other things
http://niaber.blogspot.com/2012/07/thing-10-cpd-and-other-things.html
Thursday, 5 July 2012. Thing 10 - CPD and other things. I'm warning you now, this is a bit of a monster post. It's 17 years (gulp! I remember very little of the course by now. A quarter of it was dedicated to management, a quarter to reference tools, and I remember one session on teaching us to use card catalogues. How useful was it? But it did mean that lots of what I'd learnt about were out-of-date almost immediately. The travelling was getting too much with 3 small children (Oh, the irony, when I was ...

Nia's blog: Back to school and CPD23 - Thing 13
http://niaber.blogspot.com/2012/09/back-to-school-and-cpd23-thing-13.html
Monday, 10 September 2012. Back to school and CPD23 - Thing 13. So, Thing 13. Google Docs, Dropbox and Wikis. Because we use sharepoint at work, I don’t have much experience of using the first 2 tools in any kind of professional capacity. Documents are kept on Sharepoint and we can control who has access to various areas. We can also give people either read only or editing rights. I now tend to keep most of my documents on sharepoint for the following reasons:. I have used Google Docs for keeping documen...

Monday, 28 May 2012. Making sense of user surveys. Interesting to see the overlap between the two - zoning is the issue that really divides people! We're also able to combine the Welsh and English feedback in one document, and hopefully portray some of the complexities of trying to provide a service to people with very diverse needs and expectations. Saturday, 26 May 2012. I have had a Twitter account since 3. My main issue with Twitter is information overload and t he more you follow the worse it gets.

Friday, 29 June 2012. Calendar - Thing 8. I love the reminders and also often put tasks in so I use it for time management as well. What isn't so great is the reminders that I constantly get telling me that a task is now a number of hours overdue - either I'm inefficient or hoplessly optimistic about what I can get done in a set amount of time. What this means is that as an individual I don't see a need for google calendars specifically, but am absolutely sold on the idea of shared calendars. Has anyone ...

Maria Giovanna In Other Words. A blog about libraries, careers, life in a foreign Country and other things, written by a non-native English speaker. Thursday, 4 July 2013. It’s happening again…. When I was 16, I joined a Parish group. Although having been in the Parish for years, I was a newcomer as I had never attended any group there, or taken any active role. The following year, I was asked to take charge of the children’s group, and I accepted. Posted by Maria Giovanna De Simone. Some Blogs I Follow.

Maria Giovanna In Other Words: To chair or not to chair
http://mginotherwords.blogspot.com/2011/11/to-chair-or-not-to-chair.html
Maria Giovanna In Other Words. A blog about libraries, careers, life in a foreign Country and other things, written by a non-native English speaker. Wednesday, 30 November 2011. To chair or not to chair. That was the question at the last Cilip East of England branch committee meeting, held in Bury St. Edmund's last week. It is a double-faceted question, in the sense that:. That gave me a lot of good points to think about. Going to have (good) long-term consequences, and which made me say I wouldn't be ab...

CPD23 Thing 3: Branding myself. Part I – My brand. I let a couple of days pass since. Thing 3 went up on the cpd23 blog. And, in the meantime, I had a look at what other people were saying about their personal brand. The thing that struck me most was the exercise mentioned by Tina in. Tina’s Library Related Stuff.
