Many information professionals find they are expected to deliver high-quality teaching but lack formal teaching qualifications. This one-day event aims to bring people together to share experience, identify skills gaps, discuss routes to qualifications and explore some of the challenges and opportunities associated with being a librarian who teaches. <\/p>\n
Presentations will highlight things you can do for yourself, introduce the Librarians as Teachers Network, provide case studies, consider the pedagogical needs of information professionals who teach and focus on desired skills and development. Additionally, there will be a practical workshop based on user needs analysis and learner support, as well as opportunities to network. <\/p>\n
