Description

What is it about and why should I attend?

Employability is a key element for librarians working across all sectors, and is growing in importance especially for universities. Libraries can be the gateway to learning information literacy and skills that are invaluable to employers.

This LibTeachMeet has these key aims;

- To bring together library staff from across sectors to explore the theme of employability and their roles in it.

- To encourage the sharing of methods, new ideas and innovative approaches to library’s role in improving users employability

- To explore the link between the skills libraries provide and employability

We are providing tea and coffee on arrival, and lunch although if you need extra caffeine fixes, there is a cafe just downstairs. If you have any dietary requirements (Vegetarian, allergies etc) please let us know.

Who can attend?

This event is open to anyone working in libraries in any sector, and to any Library and Information students, who are interested in the role libraries play in employment.

We will have tickets for those wanting to present/talk for 15 minutes, and everyone attending is encouraged to bring along an issue, theme or question to discuss or speak, especially any innovative or new ways your library engages with the employability of its users.

- Which skills you provide/or think should be provided that contribute to employability?

- How do you provide these skills?

- The relationship between Information Literacy and Employability

Where is it being held and who is sponsoring it?

The LibTeachMeet is being held in Medrus 1, Penglais campus, in the beautiful and (mostly) sunny town of Aberystwyth.

The event is being arranged by Ellie Downes as part of her placement with the Academic Engagement Team at Aberystwyth University, and is sponsored by the CILIP Information Literacy Group.


What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

By train: Trains arrive in Aberystwyth regularly, passing through Shrewsbury & Birmingham. Aberystwyth Station is in the centre of town, and from there is a short walk up to the University. https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/maps-travel/train/

By bus: There are regular bus & coach services to Aberystwyth from other parts of England and Wales; for useful websites follow this link; https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/maps-travel/bus/

By car: The Arts Centre Visitor Car Park and Penbryn, are the nearest pay & display car parks. For further information on travel to Aberystwyth https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/maps-travel/car/

Failing these options, hitch a ride with a friendly passing dragon if you’re travelling from elsewhere in Wales
