There is a webinar What does it mean to be a Subject/Liaison Librarian? on 19 May 2026 10:30- 12:00 noon BST, organised by the M25 consortium. The cost is £25 for M25 members and £50 for other institutions. "This online event is aimed at library staff looking to acquire additional skills and knowledge or staff working towards Chartership.
The position of Subject Librarian – or Liaison Librarian, or Information Specialist, or any number of other variations – remains a key one in most academic libraries and is one that many new professionals aspire towards.
However, it can be difficult for staff in Library Assistant or similar roles to make the move up into this area of library work as it is often a significant leap up the career ladder ... three Subject/Liaison/Specialist Librarians will discuss their roles and what they have learned over time.. The speakers are:
- Helen Biggs, University College London, UK: Leading from the middle
- Antonis Sideras, Royal College of Art, UK: What does it mean to be a Subject/Liaison Librarian?
- Dorothea Miehe, The British Library, UK: What is it like to be a Subject Librarian at the National Library?
