Monday

First day of work went well. I met up with Diston (the College of Medicine Librarian) in the morning and we set out our priorities for the week. These are:

• getting the A-Z list up and running
• sharing experiences of information literacy teaching, especially now that they have much more self-directed and problem-based learning
• reviewing the Reference Section and discussing what is useful and what not
• looking at the Library's input into the new VLE, including useful links and RSS feeds
• looking at the new Library and the needs that they have for that

I met Diana, the Deputy Librarian for the first time as she was on maternity leave the last time we were out. The three of us went for a hard-hat tour of the new Library. It is quite extraordinarily huge and beautifully designed. Diston has an office to die for with windows running down two sides and views of the mountain from one. The functions of all the rooms aren't totally decided yet, but it looks like it will be finished in the Spring. Photos are still on my camera, will post later.
