CPD, BOKs, ProfReg Revalidation and other LIANZA Professional development lingo Thursday, Oct 22 2009
library news CPD, LIANZA 11:42 am
Hi, I have had a few people ask me about Continuing Professional Development and the Professional Registration Revalidation process.
LIANZA have a ‘Continuing professional Development Wheel’ on the webpage. http://www.lianza.org.nz/development/CPD/index.html
If you click on a ‘petal’ on the wheel such as ‘Indigenous knowledge paradigms’ you will get a definition of that body of knowledge and examples of the types of professional development you can do to meet the BOK requirements.
You should also get a list of all the upcoming workshops and courses being offered in that area of knowledge. If you think there are some CPD gaps in our region (such as Indigenous knowledge paradigms) you need to contact LIANZA and let them know that you’d like to see training in that BOK in our region. They won’t necessarily hold a course in that topic, but they may be able to assist us to fill the gap in some other way.
The person to contact is:
Maree Kibblewhite
Professional Development Manager
maree@lianza.org.nz
www.lianza.org.nz
Or email me and I will pass the information on to Maree.
Thanks,
Louise

Proposed changes to the LIANZA Governance Thursday, May 21 2009
LIANZA and library news LIANZA, Professional registration 10:46 am
Hi, those of you who are LIANZA members should already be aware of the proposed changes to the LIANZA governance. If you haven’t already done so, please have a look at the discussion document on the LIANZA website.
The proposed changes could have a significant impact on the regions, so it’s very important that you get involved and have your say. A survey will be available from the 8th of June for LIANZA members to give feedback.
http://www.lianza.org.nz/news/newsroom/news1242008863.html
Please contact me if you have any questions. If there is enough interest I will organise an evening meeting for people to get together and discuss the issues.
For those of you who are interested in Professional registration and LIANZA membership statistics, there are 53 paid up LIANZA members in the Nelson/Tasman region (I’m not sure if this includes institutional members or just personal members), 19 of whom are Professionally registered.
