Reviewing Week One

Dear colleagues,

Happy Heritage Day to you all!!

You have been so prolific! Perhaps it would be useful to have one message that links you to several messages in this blog where you review week 1 of the Library Academy. Here we go starting from the oldest message:

Paiki shared multiple insights about research and is rethinking his research methodology. He also shares several challenges concerning the integration of librarians into the research process and emphasises the need for the "creativity of librarians". Meanwhile Rose has unmashed and rehashed. Finally she is on track. Seta remarks on Friday afternoon enthusiasm. To her the way forward as a librarian is "An open mind, a fresh perspective and a whole lot of insight into the world of academia". Omesh also survived the week and shares some deep reflection on the research sessions.

Hilbre found the first week to be "intensive but very stimulating". She says that it "awakened parts of my brain that have been asleep for years". Omesh tells us that the first week "made me think what is my purpose here ; how can I make a difference; - what do I hope to achieve at the end of this 2 weeks". Rose reports that "The week's activities are fitting together nicely". She reflects on "the varied nature and individualistic nature of research as a creative enterprise". Finally academyconnect used week one to "look outside the box". This is provoking some changes in strategy for an Engineering subject librarian.

Does anyone have further Week One reviews to share?
