I had a great time preparing for & presenting at the #cpd25 So you want to be a Subject Librarian? event last week. Here’s a recording (with edited transcript) I made beforehand. I talked about career history, my Academic Liaison Librarian job, recent opportunities, successes, challenges and advice📚

Having a different career, experience in different library sectors, and different library roles has been useful in Eva’s subject librarian job. And supportive colleagues.
Interesting to see Eva talk about the things she’s done that I really want to make progress on. #cpd25

Challenges with the subject librarian job. Juggling work, family and study. #cpd25 Yes - this is familiar! An imposter syndrome/feelings. This is an area I have a lot of experience with feeling.

Eva commenting on the so many different names there are for subject librarian roles. #cpd25 Gets me thinking about the need to do deep seed article analysis, and identify synonyms, when doing a literature search!

I’m loving how this #cpd25 subject librarian event is put together. The differences and links between all our presentations. Theme of teaching. And Greg is talking about lots of the things that I do a lot of but didn’t mention at all.

One of the things Greg likes about the library profession is that people aren’t precious about sharing their experiences - at conferences, etc #cpd25

Greg has come to the librarianship profession through a somewhat unique route - hasn’t worked his way up doing shelving, helpdesk… Came from a school teaching background (and a PT library masters). So much of his job involves teaching - a common theme! #cpd25

Greg has asked us What do you think is currently the biggest barrier to someone becoming a subject librarian? #cpd25 Lots of interesting answers.

I have finished my #cpd25 presentation and we’re now in a break. Really enjoyed presenting, and I kept to time somehow! I keep thinking about things that I wanted to talk about but forgot - this is always going to be the case…

Encouraging people to ask questions to support others. If you don’t know it’s likely others also don’t. Giving people permission, that it’s ok if they missed something, got distracted. #cpd25

I hadn’t previous thought of using something like Mentimeter for presenting generally, over and above using it for polling. #cpd25

Karen has used the rubric to compare PowerPoint with Mentimeter (which has accessibility build in. Word limit in Menti encourages you to be concise or spread over multiple slides if necessary. #cpd25 I spend ages adding AltText to all my PowerPoint images!

Different tools that can be used for e-learning. Rubric that can be used for evaluating these tools, and arguing your case. Measuring functionality, scaling up, concerns… Anstey and Watson #cpd25 (will maybe find the link later)

Karen is talking about tools you can use for interaction with students when teaching. PICRAT model. PIC = Passive, Interactive, Creative (Engaging). RAT = Replaces, Amplifies, Transforms (Enabling). PowerPoint is often very passive #cpd25

With the move to online journals there was the loss of the print journals display. These fostered curiosity and serendipitous discover. And helped with development of keywords and academic skills #cpd25

In Karen’s masters degree technology was developing, but you were charged for each keyword you used! #cpd25

When Karen was doing her undergraduate degree, while they had PCs, they were mostly using paper indices for keyword research. Then early days of the internet #cpd25 I remember using a basic EBSCO database but not knowing how to!

It’s the start of the #CPD25 So you want to be a Subject Librarian? event. I’m going to endeavour to post about other people’s presentations - probably in a more relaxed fashion after I’ve presented my own.

Third run through and it’s still too long, by 5 minutes. I’m going to have to cut things on the fly… #CPD25

I have written a new blog post, about preparing for my #cpd25 subject librarian talk later this morning. Glad to get this published in time, following so difficulties with Wordpress caching! #AliceWrites

Talking with my daughter now on what I could cut. I’m deciding to say NO to talking much about what led me to librarianship, so that I can say YES later on to talking about systematic review. If I talk too much on the early slides, the late slides will be rushing/skipped by default #cpd25

2 full run thrus done now (in addition to this afternoon’s dithering). The 2nd was much better than the 1st, though still too long-might make an ok recording for sharing if I don’t manage a 3rd run through in the morning. I’d really like to practice & refine more. But I’ll always want that! #cpd25

Having paused earlier (due to said children getting home, & needing to pause to make pizza dough) I’m now writing what I want to say to each slide. With everything I’m writing for slide 2 (of 10), I am going to have way too much to say in 20 mins. Will need to make significant cuts tonight! #cpd25
