Hi there

I am a self employed information professional looking into the possibility of developing a course (with a fellow freelancer)for the continuing professional development of freelancers and self employed information professionals and librarians. Generally it would cover such issues as identifying and developing skills for working freelance and what are the practicalities of working freelance.

We are gauging support for this idea and we would like to hear from anyone who would be interested in such a course. Both of us work in the health sector in the UK, but are interested in hearing from people in other sectors.

Regards

Joanna Ptolomey
