Quite a busy and 'stretching' day.

Someone at another University had read my article on our new extension and asked if a small group of their staff could come and visit as they're about to "renew and refresh" their library.

It fell to me to arrange it which I reckon is on the limits of my organizational ability. Still, I suggested a timetable, persuaded the Uni Librarian to give a talk on the process of the requirements planning, the architecture competition and the build; persuaded a couple of other colleagues to do a presentation on the revision of the website; and (only at the last minute) inveigled several colleagues to come and consume a "free lunch" with us so it wasn't me talking all of the rest of the time. I'd thought scheduling 90 minutes for a tour was possibly too much. It turned out to be far too little and I felt as though I spent the entire day chivvying them around.

But they seemed to enjoy it and claimed that they found it helpful. As ever it was interesting seeing our place through fresh eyes. Only a shame that we can't be a fly on the wall as they debrief.
