There are so many great talks and workshops it can be hard to know where to start planning!
We asked the new LIANZA TEL-SIG co-coordinators, Natalie Smith and Marisa King, for their top picks from the programme.
They say "These are our combined top picks for academic librarians: 

• Holistic approaches to the reference interview
• Customer service training - going beyond role play!
  
• Poster (4) Connect, collaborate and cultivate: an example of community collaboration
• What are research-librarian skills and how do we get them?
• It’s party time! Social research consultations for postgraduates
• Traditional metrics, altmetrics and researcher profiles: faculty perceptions and use
• Navigating teaching from face-to-face to online library tutorials"
