See the email below from Kate Stephenson of Southampton Uni.

 

The responses have been many and very amusing. Kate is compiling a full list and will circulate them.

 

I thought those of you in public libraries may have some wonderful ones and Kate would be pleased to receive them.

 

Meanwhile I wondered if there should be a publication of them all, maybe sold on behalf of a relevant charity, what do you think? Maybe Cilip would be interested in publishing?

 

Please copy Kate into your responses

 

Many thanks

Hi,

 

I’m thinking about Welcome Week,  library induction, call it what you will.  I would like to do something with clickers and debunking library myths, eg “you can find everything you need on Google”.    I see this being done in a lecture theatre type setting. 

 

So far I have…

 

It’s really quick to find information for my assignments  (McLibrary – no it takes time, critical evaluation, etc )

Nothing on my topic  -

Everything I need is on the internet

Library staff are too busy to help or are too busy reading books, or re-pinning their buns and adjusting their reading specs. 

Library staff will find information for me ( as opposed to giving me the skills to find it for myself)

 

Anymore out there?
