A good couple of years ago, I blogged about "lending paths", but we've not really progressed things any further since then. I still like the idea that you can somehow predict books that people might/should borrow and also when you might get a sudden rush of demand on a particular title.
Anyway, whilst heading back [...]

Peaks and troughs in borrowing
"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 [...]
Library Refurbishment — Year 3 of 3
It doesn't seem two minutes since the library refurbisment started, but we're now into the final year of the project. This time, it's floors 2 and 3 that are getting the treatment. I'll be snapping some shots of floor 2 tomorrow, but here's some from (the now closed) floor 3…
Sunny day
A gorgeous sunny day, ideal for a walk in the wood…
…or for lazing around in the garden…
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. Hope everyone eventually made it back home in one piece.
I was already full of cold before setting off [...]
It's raining squirrels
Squirrels falling out of the sky isn't something that's unheard of in Huddersfield — see this BBC News story about an inventor who suffered whiplash from a falling squirrel — but I'd not seen it happen until yesterday.
Late yesterday afternoon, we ventured out into the snow and had a little wander through the local woods. [...]
World exclusive!
This is a little naughty of me — posting pictures of the two subject floors that have undergone refurbishment this year before many of our library staff have had chance to see them in person
Last summer, we refurb'd the entrance floor of the library and rebranded it as the "Student Centre" to reflect [...]
I am reliant on Bloglines
Well, it turns out I am reliant on Bloglines when it comes to finding out what's going on
Little did I know that my work colleagues have been busy uploading photos to Flickr behind my back! I'll hopefully be bumping into a few of them at the Beer Festival in Holmfirth on Saturday, [...]
The Headmen
I mentioned that I used to be the bass player in a band ("The Headmen") a while ago and it was great to hear that one or two people still listened to our stuff!
Partly prompted by the fact I've been in touch with Simon (vocals/guitar), I've converted some of the old recordings into MP3 format [...]
Stuck on a train
The joys of free wifi slightly make up for the fact that I'm stuck on a train that's going nowhere fast — the East Coast main line is suffering long delays due to the train which was ahead of mine managing to damage and bring down the overhead power lines :-S
Today was the first meeting [...]
