Smidgeon of excitement today when I visited a building across the park to see the work that's been done on the Library bit of the pre-entry project I may have mentioned.

This is a project to create a suite of web pages for students about to join the University in the summer before the start. Give them info about the uni, their course - and of course the Library.

Inspired by a Dr from down the coast who'd invented some fun games to engage the students at her university (I think I mentioned her session as being a highlight of the learning and teaching conference I attended here last December), we really didn't want out bit to be boring and tedious.

So after brainstorming with a small group here in the Library, I was left with trying to create a mockup of what we wanted in PowerPoint that would look pictorial/graphicy and encourage 'exploration'.

Some techie web people have turned our 'vision' such as it was into something that looks great and is easily the best bit of the web suite - in our not so humble opinions! Well, it's fun at any rate and not just more text!
