I don't know. Maybe I'm in the wrong job. Or at least doing it the wrong way.

I had 2 one hour sessions with 140 computing students in total today. Which was fine (postponed from last week due to being off sick). Third years.

Spend the best part of an hour explaining the ins and outs of databases, searching them, how to develop keywords, other electronic resources of the library. Fairly third yeary stuff which ought to help them with their projects.

Then at the end, one bright young thing in the front row, without a trace of irony or concern ,asked:
"So... where is the library?"
