Libraries and Librarians often find themselves involved in teaching and training (Library specific programmes, or as part of a team, coordinating an organisation-wide programme of learning). This conference will help you learn teaching strategies that will support you in this new educational role.

Speaker: Dr Teresa O’Doherty, Head of Department of Education, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick

E-learning: Download Presentation

With the increased number of Distance Learning and Lifelong Learning programmes on offer, Libraries and Librarians are frequently called on to support and facilitate these programmes by implementing and facilitating the use of E-Learning and other software/technology. Are you familiar with these technologies? Are they appropriate for your organisation? Could you be part of an organisation wide team involved in implementing these solutions?

Marketing: Marketing you and your library & Information Service Download Presentation

Marketing is a management process that identifies, anticipates and supplies consumer requirements efficiently and effectively.
Marketing is frequently misunderstood. It is often mistaken for promotion or advertising. This session will focus in the fundamentals of Marketing, and how these can be integrated in a strategic way into a library's management processes.

Speakers:

Mr. Tom Prior, Prior Associates, Dublin & Marketing Institute of Ireland

Ms. Barbara Sen, Liverpool John Moore University

This is our 5th annual conference, and is the only event which brings together all Irish Health Science Librarians, and associated health information professionals. It is, a great opportunity to meet and network with other health information professionals from all over Ireland.
