4. 2005/06 Programme:

Visit – British Library: Janet, 24th February
Very successful visit, with a general tour followed by tea and a talk about the science collections, and a tour of the science wing. Several of the attendees emailed the next day to say how much they enjoyed it.

E-books: Jane with Eilis, 24th March
Full at 40 people in bigger room at Birkbeck. Very successful, with a good panel of speakers. Ronald Milne from Oxford was obviously a big draw. Lots of feedback asking for a repeat session.

Online Reading Lists: June H, 27th April
Fully booked at 26 people. Very good session, the feedback suggested the session could have been longer.

Information Literacy for the Google Generation: Antonella and Helen, 5th May
Three speakers – Peter Godwin, Jill Parker and Debbi Boden. Room full with 35 delegates. Very good session, only problem was the lack of internet access. However the speakers coped admirably without.

This has been finalised and advertised.
