Yes, A homage to my favourite composer - there may be other references scattered around.
How to build up a record of professional thoughts? This is my next task.
There's been a glut of children's book award listings (either being awarded or lists announced) Roald Dahl - Costa and the wonderful CILIP Carnegie/Greenaway too. A busy time checking that there are copies in stock of those that we can use; as well as the little local irritation that I can't justify buying all those tantalising titles on the Carnegie listing as many of them are aimed at children/Young Adults - not our primary target age range. Oh well, I'll get to read them sometimes. I am going to prioritise The Hunger games series though, and the Paolini ones - neither of which I have read and about which there is so much discussion. (Forthcoming film and the latest in the sequence making such an impact - does everyone choose their "emergency reading" like this?)
Now inductions etc have finished and having just undertaken some library skills training from a course where I am the student, not delivering the session, has made me reflect on my own practice. In essence I think I need to build in "some familiarity time" for the layout and needs of each database. Whether that is in the tabled session or by some means outside it - (not just handouts, but interactive quizzes and using technology more imaginatively etc) I'll have to investigate.
