Notes de l'éditeur
- “library profession has changed beyond recognition” Technology is at the heart of this- libraries offering access, but also more services (value-added) But lean economic times also mean Libraries have to do more with less, demonstrate their value to community For librarians this means being proactive, agent of change,
- Intelligence skills are your qualification- trained info professional, people is what you would expect- teamwork, leadershiip, conflict resolution, and personal development, personal development = decision-making, initiative, enthusiasm, resilience Developing broad managerial skills and qualities that can port from one environment to the next, make you stand out
- Professional development and lifelong learning is more than just going to trainings, no longer a one-way transfer of information- it’s about involving your whole self, what you think and feel, becoming a learner, engagement, community, collaboration
- Learning most effective grounded in experience- relevant context Why “On the job training” is so popular, why what you learned in school is way more valuable at your first job
- Situated cognition Focuses on process and context Active, Social, Authentic
- Cultivate the habit of recognizing and recording questions related to our profession. Capture – recognize questions as they arise and, before they are forgotten, record them immediately, no matter how vague or in need of further refinement. Refine your question during a quiet moment – ask colleagues for assistance in helping you refine and clarify what you really want to know, recalling Oxman and Guyatt’s (1988) adage: “Fuzzy questions lead to fuzzy answers”. Reframe – is there really another question behind your initial question? Experience suggests that the question you initially ask rarely continues to be the question you eventually pursue. Prioritize – determine how important this question is to you, your institution, or the profession; further determine the immediacy of the need to know an answer: today, tomorrow, or just some day? Clearly, not all questions that we formulate can deserve our full attention. Yet, when making important decisions, our emphasizing the EBL process increases the probability of yielding a high-quality answer. Courage – “Great discoveries are made when someone asks a new question rather than provides a new answer” (Shopper’s Window, 1998).
- A form of reflective practice involving systematic enquiry, problem-solving and practice improvement, generate knwoledge that can be transferred to other situations- predictors Inquiry Problem-solving Collaborative Understanding Predictions
- Starts with a real-world problem. Approaches it from an EBP perspective- systematic, based on some sense of what might work or has worked Key that it is participatory or collaborative with the people it serves- they are part of the problem-solving versus object of study
- In daily work, might do any one of these, or some combination, but Action Research incorporates reflection and learning into the process
- Know why, know how, know what- sums up professional practice
- Not a random collection- structured by meaningful aspects of practice and learning Two faces- multiple purposes/views- your own sensemaking, or for others - professional profile, job-seeking, networking
- 3 different ways to think about portfolio structure
- Many ways to do it, many tools. Anything that allows you to easily talk/write about yourself and your practice What makes most of us cringe is it’s key advantage- it’s public, so it’s a place to start a conversation
- Harnessing the power of networks for learning New professional development + social networking tools
- Jason Bedell, in Education Reshaping of professional development model New PD meets social media
- Jason Bedell Talks about 4 aspects of a personal learning network Social networking (connecting with others who are doing what you’re doing, working in like environments, facing similar challenges) Social bookmarking (resource sharing) For him, the key to all of them is using social media
- SN- strength of week ties, somewhat superficial, but connections to new people, orgns, ideas SB- resource sharing
