SDG

The Mercian Buddying Scheme introduces an informal but effective professional support network into the UK Midlands.

At this year’s popular Mercian Conference the Staff Development Group (MSDG) introduced their new Buddying Scheme to the world. Buddying is a great way for new, or relatively new, members of library staff to find an experienced and informed friend at one of the other member institutions.

A recent Mercian SDG event saw library staff from across the Mercian region, dipping their toes into the mysteries of applied ethnographic research

Timely event for library staff working in customer services and circulation

Circulation procedures and new LMS implementations seem to be a common theme amongst university libraries at the moment. This session will give people a chance to discuss policies and procedures with colleagues at other institutions and see how one institution has carried out their LMS implementation. This event is aimed at customer service managers, LMS teams and anyone who deals with circulation procedures.
