    Seminar on “Evolving Practices in Professional Development and Knowledge Sharing in

Why Professional Growth


      “The librarian is an active intermediary
           between users and resources.
     Professional and continuing education of
      the librarian is indispensable to ensure
                adequate services.”

                              IFLA/UNESCO Public Library Manifesto 1994
                                <http://www.ifla.org/VII/s8/unesco/eng.htm>




Seminar on “Evolving Practices in Professional Development and Knowledge Sharing in
    the Digital Age” (May 23-25, 2012 at Casa San Pablo, San Pablo City, Laguna)
Why Professional Growth

              “Librarians shall strive to improve, enhance, and
               upgrade their professional knowledge, skills, and
              competencies through formal and informal means.”

             “Librarians shall endeavor to uphold the highest
               standards in the practice of the profession. They
             shall adopt and live by this motto: C A N I - Constant
              and Never-ending Improvement of the quality and
                     standards of professional services.”

To reassert ourselves as a profession of
  knowledgeable information finding experts, we
 must take full advantage of all
 opportunities for continuing education.




  Seminar on “Evolving Practices in Professional Development and Knowledge Sharing in
      the Digital Age” (May 23-25, 2012 at Casa San Pablo, San Pablo City, Laguna)
Continuing Professional Education

CPE is “Education that
  takes place once
  professional qualification
  is achieved, with the
  intent of maintaining
  competence and/or
  learning new skills”

      Cited from: Weingand, D. E. (1999,).
         Describing the elephant: what is
      continuing professional education.
              IFLA Journal, 26(3), 198-202.



 Seminar on “Evolving Practices in Professional Development and Knowledge Sharing in
     the Digital Age” (May 23-25, 2012 at Casa San Pablo, San Pablo City, Laguna)
Continuing Professional Education
“The shelf life of a degree is
  approximately three years
   and declining. Maintaining
  competence and learning
  new skills must be at the top
                       of every professional’s “To Do” list.
                          It is an ethical responsibility, to
  be sure,              but also one that is pragmatic and
  critical for career success. … Continuing professional
  education is no longer an option, it is a requirement
  of professional practice.”
                                                Cited from: Weingand, D. E. ibid.

     the Digital Age” (May 23-25, 2012 at Casa San Pablo, San Pablo City, Laguna)
Best practices/principles
      CPE needs require regular assessment.
      CPE providers should offer a broad range of
       learning opportunities in a choice of formats that are
       designed to meet identified needs.
      Development of guidelines is necessary to ensure
       quality CPE activities.
      There must be consistent documentation and
       recognition of participation in CPE activities.
      It is imperative to conduct research/further studies
       to examine the outcomes of continuing education
       and staff development programs.

    Seminar on “Evolving Practices in Professional Development and Knowledge Sharing in
        the Digital Age” (May 23-25, 2012 at Casa San Pablo, San Pablo City, Laguna)
Assessment of training needs
 Surveys are helpful in determining wants
  and perceived needs, if not actual needs
 Job performance appraisal serves as
  guide to developing a CPE plan or
  program
 Focus groups held with representatives of
  various stakeholders can give a more in-
  depth picture of needs.
 Research and studies can develop
  assessment tools.

Why should guidelines focus on
 quality in CPE?
 CPE program falls
  short of expectations.
 CPE program does
  not respond to
  learning needs.
 CPE program is
  poorly designed and
  delivered.
 CPE program is not
  “job-embedded.”

Parting words…..
 “Librarianship” isn’t a job—it’s a vocation. It’s not
  something you can put away at the end of the
  day, when you leave the building.
                         Topher Lawton, blogger

 We want to define a librarian outside of a degree
  or a license that certifies we are information
  professionals. We want to tell the world what a
  librarian is, not merely by what we do now, or by
  the degree we hold, but by WHY we do what we
  do.
