Librarians teaching each other.
An overview of the general concept of teachmeet is best give by Doug Hall
Doug Hall explains all about TeachMeet from mrhandley on Vimeo.
We’re tweeking for librarians – and this can cover personal CPD, ie the stuff we can share with each other about useful web 2.0 tools, or other things (techie or otherwise) which help us provide a better service, as well as more user-oriented teaching (eg library introductions, or information skills training, etc)
