Practising What We Preach: Developing a Professional Reading Group for the Library Academic Support Team

This paper briefly considers the value of reading or journals clubs for the continuing professional development of library staff. It suggests that a reading club is not just a mechanism for keeping up to date with developments in the sector but can also be used to facilitate the development of a more robust and proactive culture where librarians perceive themselves increasingly as research active to inform and develop their own practice. It considers the Academic Support Team within Libraries and Learning Innovation (LLI) as an example.
