23 Things for Professional Development: Supercharge your CPD
Posted on July 8, 2011 by Kathleen Shepler | No Comments
There is an ongoing continuing professional development (CPD) program run by the Cambridge University Library and open to all librarians and staff across the world. Given the developer, you can expect some UK-specific information, but the majority of the program will focus on technologies and skills that can be used worldwide.
As posted on Tame the Web, 23 Things for Professional Development “is a self-directed, self-paced, inclusive, practical and free online programme open to librarians and information professionals at all stages of their career, in any type of role, any sector, and from any part of the world. It encourages information professionals to explore and discover social media “Things,” including Twitter, RSS feeds and file-sharing, as well as other “traditional” CPD routes, such as gaining qualifications, presenting skills and getting published. Participants will be asked to assess how each Thing can assist them in their professional development,and then to blog about each Thing and share their thoughts,views and expertise. The programme is completely informal and no prior knowledge or experience is expected or assumed.”
The program began on June 20, 2011 and runs until October 2011. Check out and sign up for 23 Things for Professional Development online!
