Reflections on the
Chartership process: a
personal perspective
Helen Bader, Assistant Librarian
Royal Welsh College of Music and
Drama
Overview
 How did I get here?
 My Chartership journey
 So how was it for me?
 My top tips
 Final thoughts
How did I get here? Part 1
 BA (Hons) English and European
Literature
 FE library assistant – university vacations
 Postgraduate Certificate in Arts
Administration
 Several years in non-library jobs – from
theatre marketing to website editing
How did I get here? Part 2
 2004 – studied full-time for MSc in
Information and Library Management
(University of Bristol)
 Qualified in August 2005
 First professional post - Project Manager
for a European-funded public/academic
library project (fixed-term contract for two
years)
My Chartership journey #1
 After 10 months in post – officially began
Chartership process (August 2006)
 Intended to complete by end of contract
(late 2007 / early 2008) …
 … but this didn’t happen!
 Chartering went on hold temporarily whilst
I was looking for a new job 
My Chartership journey #2
 Took up current post in April 2008 at
Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
 1-year maternity cover
 Returned to Chartership process
 Hoped to complete by end of this contract
(but then post made permanent in
December 2008 )
My Chartership journey #3
 Two different roles – had to rethink and
revise my portfolio
 Gradually things started to come together!
 Burst of energy in spring 2009 resulted in
submission in July
 Awarded MCLIP November 2009
So how was it for me?
Negatives 
 Lack of time during
working week to spend
on Chartership …
 … so hard to find energy
for it in my free time
 Overwhelming quantity of
paper to sift through
 “Monkey on my back”
Positives 
 Mentoring relationship
 Reflective practice
 Thinking about CPD
becomes part of your job
– not just an “add-on”
 Thinking about not
completing the process
helped me realise how
much I wanted to do it!
My top tips
1. Support network
 Mentor
 CSO
 Manager / work colleagues
 Friends and family
 Other Chartership candidates
My top tips
2. Assessment criteria
Study the Chartership assessment form to see
what the assessors are looking for
 Personal performance
 Service performance
 Continuing professional development
 Wider professional knowledge
My top tips
3. “Reflective practice”
 Assessment form – “reflect critically” ; “evaluate”
; “analyse” ; “professional judgement”
 Not just WHAT you did … but WHY you did it
 What you learned from it (what worked / didn’t
work ; what you would do differently)
 How you will apply this learning / knowledge in
the future
My top tips
4. Include examples of reflective practice
 Critically evaluate everything! Personal
performance, professional development,
your service’s performance, application of
new technologies into your service etc
 Learning log, CPD journal, blog ...
 Evidence for your portfolio
My top tips
5. Streamline your portfolio
 Keep it focused – every piece of evidence
needs to address the assessment criteria
 Annotate – don’t just include extracts from
documents without analysis / commentary
 If in doubt – probably best to leave it out!
Final thoughts #1
 Get into the reflective practice habit – the
audit sheet on the CILIP website is an
example of a ‘learning log’ you could use
 Try and make time for Chartering – even
half an hour a week will get you a long
way in a few months (and stop you feeling
like you’ve stalled)
Final thoughts #2
Try not to feel daunted or overwhelmed by
the prospect of Chartering …
The sense of achievement and
professional satisfaction you’ll feel is
definitely worth the effort!

Reflections on the CILIP Chartership process

  • 1. Reflections on the Chartership process: a personal perspective Helen Bader, Assistant Librarian Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
  • 2. Overview  How did I get here?  My Chartership journey  So how was it for me?  My top tips  Final thoughts
  • 3. How did I get here? Part 1  BA (Hons) English and European Literature  FE library assistant – university vacations  Postgraduate Certificate in Arts Administration  Several years in non-library jobs – from theatre marketing to website editing
  • 4. How did I get here? Part 2  2004 – studied full-time for MSc in Information and Library Management (University of Bristol)  Qualified in August 2005  First professional post - Project Manager for a European-funded public/academic library project (fixed-term contract for two years)
  • 5. My Chartership journey #1  After 10 months in post – officially began Chartership process (August 2006)  Intended to complete by end of contract (late 2007 / early 2008) …  … but this didn’t happen!  Chartering went on hold temporarily whilst I was looking for a new job 
  • 6. My Chartership journey #2  Took up current post in April 2008 at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama  1-year maternity cover  Returned to Chartership process  Hoped to complete by end of this contract (but then post made permanent in December 2008 )
  • 7. My Chartership journey #3  Two different roles – had to rethink and revise my portfolio  Gradually things started to come together!  Burst of energy in spring 2009 resulted in submission in July  Awarded MCLIP November 2009
  • 8. So how was it for me? Negatives   Lack of time during working week to spend on Chartership …  … so hard to find energy for it in my free time  Overwhelming quantity of paper to sift through  “Monkey on my back” Positives   Mentoring relationship  Reflective practice  Thinking about CPD becomes part of your job – not just an “add-on”  Thinking about not completing the process helped me realise how much I wanted to do it!
  • 9. My top tips 1. Support network  Mentor  CSO  Manager / work colleagues  Friends and family  Other Chartership candidates
  • 10. My top tips 2. Assessment criteria Study the Chartership assessment form to see what the assessors are looking for  Personal performance  Service performance  Continuing professional development  Wider professional knowledge
  • 11. My top tips 3. “Reflective practice”  Assessment form – “reflect critically” ; “evaluate” ; “analyse” ; “professional judgement”  Not just WHAT you did … but WHY you did it  What you learned from it (what worked / didn’t work ; what you would do differently)  How you will apply this learning / knowledge in the future
  • 12. My top tips 4. Include examples of reflective practice  Critically evaluate everything! Personal performance, professional development, your service’s performance, application of new technologies into your service etc  Learning log, CPD journal, blog ...  Evidence for your portfolio
  • 13. My top tips 5. Streamline your portfolio  Keep it focused – every piece of evidence needs to address the assessment criteria  Annotate – don’t just include extracts from documents without analysis / commentary  If in doubt – probably best to leave it out!
  • 14. Final thoughts #1  Get into the reflective practice habit – the audit sheet on the CILIP website is an example of a ‘learning log’ you could use  Try and make time for Chartering – even half an hour a week will get you a long way in a few months (and stop you feeling like you’ve stalled)
  • 15. Final thoughts #2 Try not to feel daunted or overwhelmed by the prospect of Chartering … The sense of achievement and professional satisfaction you’ll feel is definitely worth the effort!
