Webinar Program
Learning Circle Research at Deakin University Library
Ms Linlin Zhao, Ms Rickey Morey
For the last four years, Deakin University Library has run a structured professional development program for liaison librarians. This means meeting face-to-face once a month from April to November to focus on a topic designed to develop the skill sets of our liaisons. During 2016 this program revolved around ‘Learning Circles’, where liaisons spent the year learning how to do research. They chose a topic and progressed through each stage of completing their research project, with guidance from Deakin’s academics. One group is now submitting for publication. This talk will discuss the Learning Circle program, and how professional development continues to be supported for Deakin’s liaison librarians in 2018.
Research as an elephant: environments for growth
Research in professional contexts has some unique challenges and opportunities. In this presentation, we will consider research as a living organism in some frequently encountered organisational environments. Based on our experience of working in libraries and educational institutions, we will consider how to develop support systems for research in practice. We will also discuss how library and information professionals, especially LIS graduates, can translate and apply existing skills in their organisational contexts.
Practitioner Research Specialisation
Ms Judy BrookerJudy Brooker, Director of Learning, ALIA, will discuss the new ALIA PD Scheme LIS Practitioner Research Specialisation including the twelve competencies that can be used to support your ongoing professional learning. Find out how you can gain formal recognition and Certified Professional status by undertaking best practice in LIS Practitioner Research.
