ALLA Members are invited to join us at an online CPD event on Tuesday May 3 on the topic of current awareness.  This virtual CPD will be led by Clare Brown, Vable's in-house legal librarian. Over the past year, Clare has carried out interviews with a number of legal information professionals to find out how they are transforming their firm’s current awareness delivery - they all faced various challenges/frustrations and have gone on to implement solutions to drive them to greater success and visibility. Clare takes two common themes from these interviews:  dealing with an avalanche of information and  putting power in to the hands of your end-users.  This CPD will be a great opportunity to generate some discussion and engage in some knowledge sharing along the way.  When: 1pm (AWST) Tuesday 3 May 2022.  Where: Zoom. Register here . About the Presenter: Clare Brown believes a satisfying career should be intellectually stimulating and constantly mutating, s...
