- We're in the Duffield room, nearly time to start the live #uklibchat on careers. Nice to see so many people here! #libcampuk12
- I'm just going to use the #uklibchat hashtag, as fitting in #libcampuk12 won't leave much room!
- I'm on my phone rather than the laptop which was the plan, so best to mention @uklibchat if you have a question you'd like me to shout out!
#uklibchat session at #libcampuk12 will hopefully be good dissertation fodder :D
Second session: #uklibchat on careers. Tweeting by text message, but taking notes. #libcampuk12- @Karenmca career paths, routes in, different sectors etc, whatever you want to talk about! #uklibchat
Now in #uklibchat session at #libcampuk - bit of a problem with technology, but having f2f chat + twitter linkup as much as tech allows :)- #uklibchat 1st question from GDoc: what opportunities for advancement in your sector?
- #uklibchat academic libraries quite varied in this respect, lots of internal vacancies
- #uklibchat @theatregrad saying that in media libraries there is room for progression but may.need to diversify your skills
- #uklibchat @OliverRobert worked in investment bank, which outsourced its information service. Becoming more common
- #uklibchat however this means that outsourcing companies hire information specialists for a number of sectors
#libcampuk12 by the sounds of it there is no real scope for career progression in any sector #uklibchat- #uklibchat public libraries are flattening hierarchies. High competion for roles, no. of mgmt roles decreasing
hey guys joining in on #uklibchat from home! Sorry that I didn't get to #libcampuk12 someone save me cake??- Jobs.ac.UK, word of mouth, Twitter, Indeed.com, monster.com mentioned as good sources of job ads #uklibchat
