Thing 12.... Conferences are not things I attend being a library assistant...So I will do task 2..
Having looked up the links ye provided which I found very interesting and surprised of the amount that could of applied to myself. My perception of conferences were they were for the heads of depts. or serious academics... but on looking at the provided links I found some that I would find interesting and even maybe be applicable to me.
There is one on the 12th of Novemeber at 11am in The John Rylands Library University of Manchester. Its title is New Professional Day.. Its about rare books and special collection group, which i find interesting.
I found this presentation through CILIP, its found under the sub heading for academic libraries.
If it was applicable to me and our Librarian found this of need or of interest to me there would be funding to attend these conferences and iam sure they would schedule me in for this if it was needed or appropiate to me. However it is not something that we have being known to do, so this is my conference of interest.
I feel this would be of interest and would give a knowledge of special collections and rare books.
My fears would be that I would not have enough knowledge and would be out of my depth...... Also taking the advice from(Caroline Rowan) to bring a tablet to take notes which I could reference at a later time if a link or notes were not provided.
Regards
Jackie
