2. ALLICE professional development event - Mind Mapping – 23rd May

The members were reminded of this event which takes place at the Squire Sanders office on Edmund Street from 2 pm to 4 pm and costs £10. As current take up has been disappointing, it will now be advertised on LIS-LAW, etc. Please let Phil Uttley as soon as possible know if you intend to attend

3. Summer meeting – w/c 11th June – ‘Brainstorming’

A ‘host’ is required for this meeting.

It was pointed out after the meeting that this date partly clashes with the BIALL conference (14th – 16th June) so anyone able to host would need to be able to accommodate a Monday or Tuesday (11th or 12th June) meeting.

The topics to be ‘brainstormed’ will be chosen from Project Management, Knowledge Management, Communications, Business Development and Service Delivery (training, current awareness, etc.) Please let Phil know if you have any preferences (or additional topics).
