Guided Tours at Somerset House
Hi,
Everyone who has been to the (absolutely fantastic) Courtauld visit and was wondering about Somerset House might be interested in this:
There are (free!) guided tours at Somerset House every first and second Saturday: http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats_on/104.asp
I am probably going in May or June so if anybody wants to join in I can let you know the date (once I have decided ;-) )

CPD 25 'The Future of Librarians'
Hi All,
This looks like it will be a very interesting day for anyone considering careers in academic libraries. I am hoping to attend and will of course try to blog about it afterwards!
I don't seem to be able to insert the URL here, but it is http://www.cpd25.ac.uk/forthcomingevents

London Summer Schools
Hi,
Maybe some of you are interested in the following links:
London Palaeography Summer School
http://ies.sas.ac.uk/cmps/events/courses/SummerSchool/index.htm
London Rare Books Summer School
http://ies.sas.ac.uk/cmps/events/courses/LRBS/index.htm
The first one is a series of one-day courses which can be booked individually whereas the second one is a one week course (a bit expensive..). The full-day courses of the first one cost £75, there are also some half-day for £50 (one on manuscript making which sounds quite interesting...)

End of traineeship outing
I thought it would be fun if we could arrange an outing towards the end of our traineeship year. Sometime around the end of June or the beginning of July maybe before we all go our separate ways
Would anyone be interested in a day visit to Oxford. We could take the Oxford tube (a reasonably priced bus from outside Victoria Station), visit the Bodleian (I'm sure we could arrange a visit), have lunch, perhaps try and meet up with some of the Oxford library trainees, have tea, maybe visit one of the other interesting libraries in Oxford (my manager David Clover tells me there are many) and then come home on the Oxford tube.
Does the idea appeal? Or if you like the idea of an outing but not to Oxford post your other ideas

CPD25 just announced another visit:
Visit to The Wiener Library Institute of Contemporary History

Alfred Wiener, a German Jew who worked in the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, fledGermany in1933 for Amsterdam. Together with Prof. David Cohen, he set up the Jewish Central Information Office, collecting and disseminating information about events happening in Nazi Germany. After the war the Library's academic reputation increased and the collecting policies were broadened. Today the Library still acquires major collections, holds regular lectures and events, and provides a focal point for researchers, the media, the public and students.The collection relates to the causes and legacies of the Holocaust, including its historiography and documentation. It also includes documentation relating to Jewish refugees and exiles in Great Britain, Kindertransport and the resistance against the racial persecution of Jews by Nazis and collaborators.

CPD25
Hey all- I've been talking alot about these CPD25 events I go to, so here is the link for the website- check it out. http://www.cpd25.ac.uk/
CPD25 is related to CILIP, although I don't believe you have to be a member of CILIP to go on the visits. It is an organisation promoting professional developement for academic library staff members within the M25.
I went on a visit to Westminster School Library last December which was fantastic. I'm also booked on to their visit to the British Film Institute's Library on March 11th and to the Tate Library and Archives on April 16th.
I don't receive email about their visits automatically, the Librarian forwards them to me, so my advice would be to contact CPD25's base at the LSE directly to ask what you need to do to get on their mailing list.
I would recommend checking it out!
