Librarianship is a learning profession.<\/p>\n
This is why we have associations and other groups, nationally and internationally, which provide opportunities to share and listen to others.<\/p>\n
IFLA itself is all about helping library and information workers to discover insights and ways of doing things that they can then incorporate into their own practice.<\/p>\n
But learning can of course also take place every day, through reflecting on what has worked and what hasn\u2019t. A number of posts in this series have already addressed this!<\/p>\n
However, people shouldn\u2019t need only to rely on what they remember and perceive. It can be really helpful to receive reactions and views from colleagues.<\/p>\n
Of course, for this to happen, you need colleagues who are ready to make the effort to do this!<\/p>\n
So for our 78th<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian exercise, share feedback.<\/p>\n Can you see something in a colleague or someone else\u2019s work which is particularly good, and that they can continue to do?<\/p>\n Or is there something that could be done better?<\/p>\n Clearly, in giving feedback, it is important to be sensitive. Don\u2019t make assumptions, and be sure to keep things constructive.<\/p>\n Think also if there are other factors which could mean that your feedback is likely to be more or less effective. In the end, the goal is to help someone perform better in their job.<\/p>\n Let us know about the most useful feedback you ever received in the comments box below.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>! <\/strong>Key Initiative 3.4: Provide targeted learning and professional development<\/em><\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the\u00a0#10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a>\u00a0tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA\u2019s\u00a0Ideas Store<\/a>!
