Aaaaaannnd I'm running out of oomph!
1 good thing -
This TEDTalk by Tim Brown on creativity and play. He talks about designing experiences, something we do in libraries both physically and virtually.
1 bad thing -
Not sure my leading the discussion in the journal club today was entirely successful. I think I need to tighten up the talk or something. I wanted something practical to come from it and should have made it clear from the beginning but was constrained by my desire not to prevent people from expressing their opinion. I wasn't sure if they would agree to having a practical outcome. *sigh* oh well...
One thing I learned -
I am more nervous presenting to my colleagues than when I am to a whole lecture theatre of students. The difference? I know I know more than the students so feel more confident.
Linky love - Graph Jam... particularly this one on types of sources university students use for their assignments. (Yes you can make your own :-P )
As one who was at the journal club, I overheard others saying it was great having the discussion at the broader, more general level. We hardly ever do that.

I do so agree, talking to a room full of professional information people is scary bad. I 'know' i know more that the students! {virtual support}
ReplyDeletewhooo hooo. Penny "fake it till you make it" thats my mantra, that and some rescue remedy to calm the nerves.
ReplyDeleteI think if you are being honest you were probably being too hard on yourself.
From what Fran said in the comments above it was a success.
Yep - always harder to talk to your colleagues :)
ReplyDeleteThat link on referencing was funny. I confess to using Wikipedia for ONE assignment (but it was about social media so seemed to be appropriate!)
