Welcome (seriously this time) and activities for BOK

I hope you received your invitations to blog with me. I apologise for the delay in working out how to invite you. It seems so simply now!

We have had several opportunities to add to our BOK

- viewing / discussing the National Library new and planned digital services powerpoint presentation. View at www.natlib.govt.nz/downloads/Access-to-services-collections-Mar-2009-new.pdf

- Also the CPD wheel has been a year in development and is intended to be used primarily as a tool to help you easily identify and register for professional development courses to satisfy the requirements of revalidation for professional registration.

Even if you are not professionally registered, the wheel is intended to be a one-stop-shop for CPD events offered by LIANZA and ALIA (on-line courses).

Click on the link and have a play - http://www.lianza.org.nz/development/CPD/index.html

Thats all- better get back to work!

Initial BOK Meeting Friday 15th Whangarei Central Library

Present: Paula Urlich, Arasteh Hancock, Visnja Susnjar, Gaylene Town-Treeweek, Jill Browne, Penny Frood, Jac Jenkins, Lynne Snell.

Requirements of LIANZA Professional Registration means keeping a Journal documenting our Body of Knowledge. Templates available at http://www.lianza.org.nz/registration/files/revalidation_journal_template.xls

If you hold the cursor at the top right corner of any square (small red triangle), the description and examples of activities pop up.

Suggestion made to use our Outlook Calendar to note activities. Enter them in as appointments and use a colour for immediate identification. This will enable you to recognise them later and use them in your journal.

Over the three years we need to cover each of the eleven BOK elements. Some activities will lend themselves to more that one BOK entry, eg. attending a seminar on 'Bi-Cultural Sensitivity' would fulfill BOK 3 Assessment of Information needs and Design of Responsive Services' and then implementing what was learned, would fit BOK 11, Awareness of Maori Paradigms. Well, thats my interpretation. I hope you get the picture.

Coverage of all 11 areas in the Body of Knowledge, activity in 3 of the 4 Domain areas, and at least 10 activies per year for the duration of the revalidation period, as well as commenting on the learning outcomes of each activity undertaken ... to be commented on next blog.
