And so it goes on… Life, work, the to do lists. They never stop do they? I’m finding it difficult at the moment to find time to work on my chartership. Really difficult. There’s just always something else to do, something more pressing. And CPD is always at the bottom of the to do pile. […]

So, at the start of June it’ll be year since I started here at George Eliot hospital as a clinical librarian, and as you do, I’ve been reflecting on my move into health libraries and how I’ve fared over the past year. Prompted by a conversation at a networking day last week, I’d written a […]

I’ve got the Post Lilac conference blues… Is a Lilac-blue more of a lavender? Well I’ve been a little bit lavender this week then, but not too much. I’ve still got so much to process from last week’s conference, however it took me a couple of days to recover. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it, recovering from […]

Lilac conference day 2 What, no famous author tweets Lisa? Well, no, sorry, not today. Let me tell you about the day though, because there’s still lots of hear about, and all in all, I think day 2 was more enjoyable than day 1 in many ways. For a start there was more cake. Always […]

LILAC 19 part 1 Thank you to Health Education England who awarded me a bursary to attend this year’s LILAC conference. For those of you who haven’t heard of LILAC, it’s the annual information literacy conference for librarians and other information professionals, and quite honestly, it’s great.

Oh wow, what a few weeks! Such a busy time, but really exciting too. I’ve attended awareness days, presented workshops and squeezed in a bit of desk work too. Firstly the workshop I presented. I mentioned it in my last blog post. It had seemed a long way away and then all of a sudden […]

Good morning friends, and it’s a frosty one outside my window today. I’m not a fan- defrosting the car is something I could happily never do again! Still the office is nice and warm, so I thought I’d do a quick update! I’ve been struck over the past fortnight by how quickly some things can […]

It’s 10 days in to the new year, and I’m just finding time to blog. So let me wish you a very happy new year, I hope the festive season treated you gently. The new year has been off to a flying start here at William Harvey Library. So much to do as ever, and […]

Hello dear readers! I hope that winter is treating you well. My last few weeks have been as brilliantly challenging as ever, lots to do, lots to learn! I’m skidding into the season of sparkle full of the joys of policies and evidence searches, with a fair few under my belt this past month. I’ve […]
