Met a potty chap today. Newish lecturer in my faculty. Of mature age shall we say.

Wanted help with replacing a textbook which covered exactly what he wanted but now had to be reproduced online. He had a grand plan for 10 'chapters' (segments) really in the virtual learning environment with 10 sub-headings in each. And amongst other things wanted advice on how much he could copy from printed books to use in his work. Oh dear.

Still, with some help from the Business Librarian (who he should probably have been talking to in the first place) we managed to provide him with books, URLs, journal material and perhaps most importantly copyright advice.

If nothing else the deluge means he'll be kept occupied for a bit... I hope.
