Emerging Technologies
This week sees delivery of the first in a series of sessions on Emerging Technologies from the Learning Technology Development Team:
QR Codes: Bridging paper and web?
Have you seen code blocks similar to this appearing in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards, or on just about any object about which people might need information? Have you wondered what they mean or how they can be read?
This 1 hour interactive workshop will introduce participants to the world of Quick Response (QR) Codes – these are 2D barcodes that can be scanned with a smart‑phone, iPod Touch or similar. QR codes are flexible – the information embedded in the code can contain just about any information you want – text, a web address, contact information or can even send a text message.
There are still places available, so if you want to find out how you could benefit by using QR-Codes follow this link to reserve your place:

Student Union interview – ‘late night library’
We have had lots of interest and enquiries from customers about phase 2 of ‘late night library’. The Student Union invited me for a short interview to explain the reasons behind the pilot and talk about our range of support for students….you can listen to the interview via this podcast!
We hope we can work more with the SU in the future to promote our services and initiatives.
Don’t forget – ‘late night library’ starts this week, Monday – Thursday, 9pm – midnight!
