My Chartership Journey

it's ten years ago now but I blogged throughout my Chartership jessdoeschartership.wordpress.com if that's a useful share?

oh the first thing I'm doing this weekend is getting a bin and some spoons

a man in a striped shirt is talking to another man in front of an lg refrigerator Alt: the bit off Arrested Development where George Michael says "I'm Mr Manager Now" and Michael says "we just say manager".

First day as a manager today. What was the best thing a manager ever did for you?

My MA dissertation was on team structures in FE college libraries, so very different again! (I love the summer reading challenge as a parent, but urg it must be an administrative nightmare)

they stay with you.....

YES I would read that

I know what all of those mean, yes 😂

love this for you

I need example dissertation titles For A Thing - to make this FUN and HUMAN - what was your Undergraduate Dissertation? Mine was on the Luddite Rising in West Yorkshire in 1812 and the use of medical professionals as informants.

Would you like to come and work in my team? Feel free to get in touch to chat about the role.

I feel like I need a OA Scholarly Publishing Beefs and Gripes Network. Does one already exist I don't know about?

meeeeee (on the Tuesday)

Now I've just got to get her down a Mine and her full Yorkshire Childhood will be Unlocked

I went to both Bradford Industrial Museum AND Cliffe Castle this half term and they were both banging. My little one had to listen to me bang on about working conditions and child labour laws that funded the extravagance but START THEM WHILST THEY'RE YOUNG

On a personal level, the award has given me visibility within the sector, strengthened my confidence, and provided a powerful reminder of the difference collective work can make."

HIVE MIND #infolit looking for quippy quips and examples of what information literacy isn't (or what some might think IL is, but it's a bit more complicated than that) for a thing. Think stuff like "I'm Information Literate because I know how to use a database" (How? Why? What do you do next?)
