I’m ‘digitally different’
I’m in this week’s issue of student newspaper The Linc, talking about (predictably) e-resources and the library. Page 8 of the print edition (next to Vito Cataffo!):
And in their online edition. I was really pleased to be asked to do this – gratifying that the student newspaper wants to hear about the library.
Jargon
Last year’s away day actions recommended that we “develop a jargon list of terms to help international students to understand commonly used library terminology”. Di, Graham and I have begun to create a list of terms L&LR use which probably confuse many students, international or not.
Below is a list of (possibly) confusing synonyms and jargon words but there are probably more, so please let us know them!
Thank you
