Rachel's Big Adventure: Reflections of a first-timer at Umbrella 2011: Day One
http://rachel-s-b.blogspot.com/2011/07/reflections-of-first-timer-at-umbrella.html
Tuesday, 19 July 2011. Reflections of a first-timer at Umbrella 2011: Day One. I was lucky enough to win a full residential bursary from my local CILIP branch to attend this year’s Umbrella conference. The theme of the conference was New structures, new technologies, new challenges – how can we adapt to an age of austerity? Sessions ran under six “strands”: Skills and Professionalism. Libraries in the Big Society. Digital Inclusion and Social Change. And Workshops: Skills and Techniques. And look forward...

Rachel's Big Adventure: April 2015
http://rachel-s-b.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 26 April 2015. My top tips for a painless CILIP Revalidation. I’d been putting Revalidation off. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you have been too. It was one of those things that I knew I should. Do, but it kept slipping down my to-do list, and I didn’t really know what it entailed, and then the CILIP VLE looked complicated and fiddly. Sometime late last year I decided that enough time had passed since my Chartership. Bear the criteria in mind when recording your CPD. You’ll remember e...

Rachel's Big Adventure: Tips for applying for conference bursaries/sponsored places
http://rachel-s-b.blogspot.com/2012/06/tips-for-applying-for-conference.html
Sunday, 3 June 2012. Tips for applying for conference bursaries/sponsored places. As conference season has started and LIS people, in particular new professionals, are starting to look at how they could attend events despite the costs, I thought it would be a good time to share some tips for applying for bursaries and sponsored places to events. This is based on my fairly recent experiences of winning a sponsored full place to attend Umbrella2011. Opportunities will often be posted on the LISNPN forums.

Rachel's Big Adventure: Getting back on track with my Chartership portfolio
http://rachel-s-b.blogspot.com/2012/03/getting-back-on-track-with-my.html
Saturday, 3 March 2012. Getting back on track with my Chartership portfolio. It’s nearly a year ago that I registered for Chartership, found myself a mentor, went along to a “Preparing for Chartership and Certification” course and wrote this enthusiastic post. Left me feeling like everyone except me was on top of things, so I decided it was time to do something about it! I booked myself onto a “Building your portfolio” course. Which was running in Bath on 3. March, and designated the 2. Make sure your po...

Taken for Binding: May 2012
http://kris-library.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 May 2012. Thing 4 - current awareness. This post primarily focuses on Twitter, inspired in part by a number of conversations I've had lately. I’ve only been using it for about a year (I joined as part of Thing 4. Last year) but I thought I would share my experience of using it so far, which may be helpful to people getting started. But really I couldn’t have been more wrong, as was pointed out in a recent event we held on Social Media. 8220;Twitter is what you make of it”. Whenever I talk to p...
