Afternoon was spent with our jamboree for library liaison officers, learning and teaching coordinators and anyone else we could think to invite. (About 20 came in the end plus 8 or 9 library staff).

The idea was to get them to think about issues we face such as print vs electronic, book delivery times, journal costs and so on. We set up an interactive PowerPoint and gave them voting handsets to do a multiple choice quiz with 10 questions allowing each to generate whatever discussion seemed desirable.

It went very well which was good. Even my bit about how long it takes a book to get to the shelves. I decided to dispense with any PowerPoint slides and use a box of breakfast cereal as a show-and-tell item. That seemed to go down well as well - no pun intended. Thanks to R who lent me the cereal.
