Learning Development Workshops at Brayford
We are now taking bookings for the Learning Development Workshops for weeks 3 and 4. Workshops on offer during this fortnight are Decoding Your Assignment Title, Assistive Software, Using the Internet for Academic Research, Introduction to RefWorks and the perennial Finding Journal Articles.
We’re asking students to book through the Library’s Workshop page, which sends an email to asl@lincoln.ac.uk or by texting the code for the workshop to 07972 455457.

This semester we’re only advertising the workshops a fortnight at a time to prevent students booking weeks in advance and then forgetting to turn up.

Visitors from Central Saint Martins
On Wednesday 19 August we welcome visitors from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. Two summers ago the Learning Resources Manager plus colleagues visited Lincoln and found it particularly useful given the parallels between the new CSM site at King’s Cross and the GCW at Lincoln. This summer we are hosting a visit by six more members of staff who are interested in our experience of planning our move, what we have done since we have moved in, and how user behaviour has changed. (Go to http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/central-st-martins-the-art-college-that-is-redrawing-its-future-791848.html for more information about the new home for Central St Martins).
Knitted books on BBC Radio Lincolnshire
Here it is… broadcast just before 8 o’clock yesterday morning, on the Breakfast Show with Rodders. With apologies for my bad attempts at radio humour.
GCW in THE, OK?

“Stem Architects were inspired by the secret monastic library in Umberto Eco’s novel The Name of the Rose to create a traditional library where scholars could absorb themselves in private study.”
