At Mashed Library UK 2009, we're planning to kick the event off with six 30 minute opening sessions. We've got two rooms, so there'll be a session running in each room at the same time. Since a delegate can't be in two places at the same time, they'll only be able to go to three [...]

Transcript of the #cilip2 Twitter hastag
Despite a widespread network failure that seemed to affect quite a few universities, I finally managed to pick up all of the #cilip2 tweets from today's event: http://www.daveyp.com/blog/stuff/cilip2.html Whenever I get a spare half-an-hour, I'll do some analysis of the tweets.

UKSG 2009
Far too tired to blog anything sensible, but wanted to say how much I enjoyed the UKSG 2009 Conference in Torquay Looking at the Twitter feed (#uksg09) it sounds like the trains have been atrotious.

The impact of book suggestions/recommendations?

JISC Developer Happiness Days (dev8D)
