Library into seminar room
June 7, 2010Here I am helping out on reception – something i have not done for yonks. Notice our library is much diminished – as we know. But here is a nice thing.
I have one student waiting for a QQ, but there are 9 other students visible. They are at the far end of the room in a CV session with Evan. Our info room is increasingly becoming a seminar room.
I totally approve of this. Finding stuff out is increasingly an activity on the web that students are familiar with, though they do it very badly – ie randomly – taking a lot of unnecessary time.
But having the careers room as more of a learning centre -this is surely the way forward.
And wait, in come Jeff Riley and has a quick word with Evan’s group and tells them there is an employer session about to begin with Linked-In. 2 of the group go off to the session, 2 more sign up for qq.s
The last thing is a bit of a disappointment. The sessions are meant to cut down on the 1-1′s. Of course what we know is that they actually build the demand.
