You can grab a copy of my presentation ("I wouldn't start from here") from daveyp.com/blog/stuff/uksg2012/ (PDF or PPTX). Claire Gravely wrote up a summary of the session for the UKSG blog. Unfortunately it looks like I've managed to lose the USB stick with the final version of the presentation, so the above is the closest [...]

Quick idea from #jisclms event
A mega quick blog post before the afternoon session kicks off! Lynn Connaway's talk mentioned that they'd found that students wanted the library/librarian to provide a filtered feed of relevant stuff, so here's our idea… 1) capture OpenURL usage data along with user data (so you know who's looking at which journals) 2) identify the [...]

Mashed Library 2010 – Chips and Mash
I promise that one of these days I'll get back into regular blogging (honest!) After "Liver and Mash" at Liverpool, it looked likely that there might not be another Mashed Library event in 2010. So, after a bit of a natter with colleagues, we've decided to host another event at Huddersfield (with even more cake [...]

Just a quick "heads-up" that the second Mashed Library event of 2009 ("Middlemash") takes place at Birmingham City University on Monday 30th November. The registration form should be going live The registration form went live on Tuesday morning and I'm sure it'll be another sell-out event — keep a close eye on the event blog [...]
ILI 2009 Presentation
I really struggled to shoehorn everything I wanted to talk about during my ILI 2009 presentation into the slides, so this blog post goes into a bit more depth than I'll probably talk about… slide 1 & 2 I'm still in two minds about whether or not the word "exploit" has too many negative connotations, [...]
Mashed Oop Multimedia
Just in case it's of interest to anyone, we've started uploading videos of the opening sessions from "Mash Oop North" to Vimeo and the Internet Archive (see this blog post for links). With the free Vimeo account, you can only upload up to 500MB a week, so it's going to take a few weeks to [...]
"Engaging our Digital Natives", University of Bradford
On Friday, I had the pleasure of giving a presentation ("Web 2.0 and You Too") as part of the "Engaging our Digital Natives" event at the University of Bradford. For some reason, Slideshare isn't showing the notes from the presentation, but they should be available if you download the Powerpoint. Some photographs from the day [...]
