Listening Experience Database study day

29th March 2017 - 11am-3pm

The project spans all historical periods and all musical styles. Our Glasgow study day will comprise short papers given by members of the project team and will include a demonstration of the database and its use as a research resource.

Well, the Mitchell isn't exactly next-door, but it's certainly good to know about Glasgow's flagship public library.

Library Camp: not a Teddy Bears' Picnic!

Karen went to an "unconference" on Saturday - Scotland's first library camp. 

Curious?  Here's what caught the attention of several dozen Scottish librarians:- http://gltweeps.wordpress.com/library-camp-glasgow/ - and here's the blog about it.  There was also a Storify assemblage collating delegates' impressions of the whole event.

Creativity in libraries was one subject that came up, courtesy of Delphine Dallison at Glasgow School of Art. This prompted Karen to indulge in a bit of reflective writing of her own.  You can read it here, on her Airs and Graces CPD blog.

Being off-duty librarians, we had a couple of competitions - one was to make one's own badge.  The results were quite something, so the organisers made a collage to show you - here.
