What will I be doing?
- Building my team, I have recently employed 2 new members of staff. So I will need to integrate them in to my team, as well as take up my place as the head of the department returning from maternity leave. To do this, I will set up team meetings, discuss what I expect and let the team speak.
- The library will be moving so I need to research and visit other instituions to see what is hot in libraries at the moment.
- Improve the online aspect of the library, I'll be doing this for several reasons. Firstly, for what ever reason I feel we are slightly behind other instituions, having online resources will aid the students in 24 hour studying. This is to include eresources, ebooks and journals.
- Ok, this is cheating adding in a fourth, as I only said I would do 3, but I want to complete my chartership.
What I won't be doing
- Worrying so much, so that I am loosing sleep. So far my career has gone in the right direction, there are changes ahead, which I have mentioned above, but I need to trust that all will end well.
- Listening to office gossip, mostly untrue and very distructive.
- Keeping so quite, I need to speak up more.
