Make job applications easier – start a CPD diary by Penelope Dunn
Penelope Dunn will introduce continuing professional development (CPD) diaries as tools to track skills, training and experience and align these with specific goals and job applications. Using her personal experiences, she will explain how and why she went about this route, and propose quick ideas for starting your very own. This brief overview should engage professionals at all levels; those starting out, and experienced professionals who are looking to track and organise their (often) vast array of skills.
Attendees may be able to get a close look at what is involved in one to one or small groups and go away with invaluable advise in starting their own diaries.
GPs’ Information Seeking and Use of Open Access by Sarah Kennedy and Kate McCarthy
Sarah and Kate McCarthy will be presenting work from their Capstone project completed for their MLIS degrees at UCD in 2013. This research heavy project looked at information seeking behaviour of General Practitioners in Ireland, and the resources and techniques they used. They present their methodology, relevant research, findings and opportunities for information professionals in this area.
This project gives an insight into some of the work that is involved in completing an MLIS and the skills required to do so.
Book your free ticket via Eventbrite to see these posters and meet the New Information Professionals behind each of the projects on Saturday 11th of October at #npdishine14
