Free books!

Well it's a library, of course we have free books. But this is different. This is a free book you can take away and keep without anyone writing to you asking for it back. Or you can be nice and pass it on for someone else to read. We're taking part in Southampton's Reading Slam. Soon you too could be reading Slam. There's also a chance to meet the author and win a signed copy of the book.

Reflections in Wonderland

The latest issue of Sconul Focus has an article that a colleague and I wrote based on our experiences of Second Life during the project we've been doing over the last year.

New things

Long time no blog entry. Not because I've been on holiday all the summertime, but because the summer is busy in it's own different way from term time and because I'm even more sure than usual that nobody would be reading this!

So what's new in business information? Well, we have a new online information source for marketing - TGI (Target Group Index) providing data from consumer surveys. We have a new library catalogue which will be getting a lot of new features added in the next few months. We hope that by Christmas you will be able to search it for journal articles as well as books, which I think will be a big step forward.

There are also quite a few more new things being planned but not quite ready for general release yet. As with so much of life the theme is 'constant change'.
