Scary session this morning as the science librarian had arranged for me to do a 90 minutes session to a group of his "prof doc" students (PhDs with a bit more teaching and a bit less research I think he explained) on 'new technologies in information dissemination'.

I think a computing academic has run the session before but for some reason it's devolved to me now. I'd complain that it ought to be the science librarian teaching his own students except that as I come bottom of our league table on number of teaching hours [1], I'll take anything I can get. Plus it was an interesting topic I've not done before.

Although I was very uncertain what the group would be like, how the session would 'work', how the session would go down, in actual fact they seemed very appreciative of it and found it quite useful. Even the first section I did on Twitter just to get the controversial out of the way!


[1] If I've not mentioned this before, it comes up in my appraisal each year. It's not for want of touting my services and abilities about the faculty at any opportunity.
