I am very pleased to see a good review of our book on Providing Effective Library Services for Research has just been published in the November issue of CILIP Update – it’s the first review I have seen so it’s a big relief that it’s positive! Now I don’t need to feel worried about suggesting people buy it. Buy lots!

I haven’t had much time to blog recently because it’s such a busy time of year and I’m spending most of my time involved with information literacy sessions with students, which is what it’s all about really. I’m finding that this year I’m spending more time talking to the students about what it means to be information literate and actually engaging them in discussion about how thinking about this is going to help them. I’m quite surprised by how positive the response has been!

I am pleased to see that Geoff and Alison at Staffordshire University are continuing their useful series of IL workshops this year. The next one will be held on 7 November 2007 and will focus on information literacy and the use of space. Speakers include Bob Glass (see his pic on my blog a few weeks ago)from Manchester Metropolitan University on Flexible Learning Spaces and Dave Parkes, Staffordshire University on Participatory Cultures.
