Today was the Library's summer event of training for any library staff who wanted to attend. Some 35-40 did.

Not quite as fun as last years extravaganza where teams had to research 6 holiday options and then we examined our information literacy in how we'd gone about the task.

This year was useful and interesting though:
- interactive quiz on e-learning
- exploration of various e-learning sites (in pairs or threes) with free rein to comment and criticize design and so on
- demo from our own e-learning folk of various things they were up to (including the project I'm involved with which I mentioned last Monday - rather quietly I discovered that they'd put everything 'back' how it was realizing that maybe we did have a point and an actual pedagogical reason for what we were doing!)
- then we visited various University e-learning sites and again commented and noted what worked and what didn't
- and then we had a session on how the Library might develop tools from wikis to Meebo for reference enquiries.

Now it's off to an evening meal to say farewell to our ground floor Manager of several years standing.
