This series will be an opportunity for you to learn a bit more about different roles and areas of library life. It will be a series of hour-long sessions aiming to demystify areas of the library service to give you an overview of the sort of work involved and how they fit into the wider service. They will consider the types and levels of roles involved in that area of work, outlining whether people tend to be lone workers or part of a team etc. The aim is also to provide a glossary of key terms used in each area to help you understand more about any acronyms and phrases in common use. You can pick and choose which sessions you would like to attend or register for all of them - whichever you'd prefer!

The second in the series is on research support. Delphine Doucet and Megan Kilvington, the co-chairs of the ALN Research Support Group, will outline what is involved in research support; the different roles that exist and how they work together; and how the work can vary from institution to institution, depending on institutional research intensity.
