We are delighted to announce that bookings are now open for the 2016 UCL Library Services eXperience eXchange. All library staff are invited to attend.

When and where?

Tuesday, 10th May, 10.00-12.30pm in the Library Teaching Room, Newsam Library, UCL Institute of Education.

What happens?

Library staff come together to share ideas and good practice about our liaison and information skills/literacy training activities. In this year’s eXperience eXchange we will be focusing on training and we’ll be exchanging our experiences through short presentations and other group activities. You are invited to make a 5-7 minute presentation to your colleagues. Tell us about ideas you have tried or are thinking of trying, report back on inspiration from a conference or training event you have attended, or simply tell us about something that has worked for you – or something that didn’t! Maybe you’ve been exploring innovative ways of delivering or promoting training, or you’ve created new learning materials or ways of getting feedback from your users – we want to hear about it! Perhaps you would like input from colleagues on developing a training idea that you have, or you’d like to try out that training idea, then this is your chance. The success of the session depends on contributions so please consider presenting. It will be informal and fun!

If you’d rather not present but still have some ideas, thoughts or questions you’d like to share, then why not write a short paragraph that we can put into the ‘ideas pool’ instead? We will put these on display during the break and they may form the basis for further discussions during the afternoon.

As in the previous eXperience eXchanges there will be a break for a cake and biscuit exchange. This too is a chance to share so please bring some cakes or biscuits if you can (bought or home-made).

Signing up

Email Angela angela.young@ucl.ac.uk or Dan daniel.o’connor@ucl.ac.uk if you would like to come along and say whether you would like to contribute a presentation or email a paragraph to go into the ‘ideas pool’. We look forward to seeing lots of you there.
