Not Just "the help": Library Services as Professional Colleagues

How do we professionally self-identify and how are we perceived within our institutions? Are we support staff who order books and manage reading lists, or are we professional peers with interests in pedagogy and research?

This workshop encouraged delegates to consider their own self-perception and reflect on some of the habits and behaviours that lead to us to identify and be identified as support staff. It also aimed to help delegates consider strategies to make the leap from support to professional peer, or help their colleagues and teams to do so.

These slides include the feedback from delegates gathered using PollEverywhere and Mentimeter.
