  1. Successful Curriculum Integration and Support – some ideas that work for us. Jane Spellman – Librarian, Queen Elizabeth VI Form College, Darlington March 2012 Email; jspellman@qeliz.ac.uk

  2. Be professional • Present your service to staff and students as an integral part of their work – not an extra. • Work with teaching staff as an equal – you have the same aims. • Ally with other support staff – share expertise. • Self-Assessment is crucial. • Use your professional networks (CILIP, JISC etc) – for help, advice and ideas.

  3. Know your institution • Ensure your service planning aligns with the strategic objectives of your institution. – (VOTE) • Work towards becoming embedded in the yearly cycle of events (e.g enrolment, open evenings etc). • Keep up to date with course and curriculum changes – obtain specifications (and schemes of work if possible) (VOTE)

  4. Spotting gaps and being proactive • Get out and about when possible and talk informally to people – staff and students - about what’s important to them. You can often spot problems and find solutions. • Embed yourself as the ‘go-to’ service for particular things e.g referencing, textbook loan. (VOTE) • Look ahead, see where your service can help and make the offer – don’t wait to be asked. • Do things that take you out of your comfort zone.

  5. Shout about it. • Use all channels of communication to trumpet your successes, for new items of interest, and to get feedback – formally and informally. • Build some of these in as a regular feature – e.gtermly newsletter to staff, or annual student questionnaire. • Ensure [use of] your service is included in the self-assessment cycle for the curriculum areas. (VOTE)
