The CPD wheel has been a year in development and is intended to be used primarily as a tool to help you easily identify and register for professional development courses to satisfy the requirements of revalidation for professional registration.
Even if you are not professionally registered, the wheel is intended to be a one-stop-shop for CPD events offered by LIANZA and ALIA (on-line courses).

How the wheel works -
The wheel is comprised of a four concentric circles.
At the centre of the wheel is the Body of Knowledge. This is the knowledge that every qualified librarian leaves library school with. If you click on the centre of the wheel you will be taken to the page on our website that details the Body of Knowledge.
The second circle, relating to professional development and in the shape of petals, is divided into the eleven areas of the Body of Knowledge with a short descriptor of each area.
Click on any one of the petals and you will be taken to a page that gives you an indication of the types of CPD relating to that BoK area.
If LIANZA or ALIA (on-line courses) are offering an event that fits into this area then it will display here and you will be able to register to attend.
If there is no event currently on offer within that area, you can always email me to request that LIANZA investigates doing so.
The third circle relates to personal development and operates in the same way as above. Although LIANZA's first priority is professional development to support librarians and information managers, we will aim to run one or two personal development courses each year.
Sometimes a CPD course will fit into both professional and personal development, for example a course on leadership.
The last circle relates to the intangible benefits that pervade any professional or personal development endeavour undertaken, for example networking opportunities.
We hope that the wheel will make your life easier and that you will come to rely on it as a useful tool to plan and organise your professional development.
I would be very interested in your feedback and thoughts.
With kind regards
Maree
