Been hard at it today preparing a session on information literacy for the next crop of unsuspecting lecturers on the PGCHET course. Not sure quite how we got this gig, but management showing a lot of interest so clearly this is regarded as premium content! Have chucked a spoonful of Brabazon, a pinch of CIBER, a proclamation and a couple of definitions into the pot, along with a little exercise, a discussion and of course a video clip from YouTube. Should be fun. Bound to be a few stroppy individuals in the group (whadda we have to do this fooooor, doncha know I’ve got groundbreaking experiments to set up and module descriptors to obsess over). I know; I am technically still one of the stroppy individuals on the course, having survived 2 modules and trying to gear up to get some material together for module 3.
While juggling powerpoints and generally cogitating, am finally sampling the benefits of Last.fm. Very cool music selections, can go into my happy space while I work.
But back to work now… need to leave early today to go to my unhappy place: the dentist. Then might juggle a few more CDG draft strategy revisions around into what is fast becoming yet another document of doom, albatross-on-a-roll, ticket to Confusion Central.

I am intrigued to know what is meant by
“a spoonful of Brabazon”
From Ann in Australia

I was referring to the Australian Tara Brabazon, Professor of Media at the University of Brighton. She is causing quite a stir with her statement ‘Google is white bread for the mind’ and her attempts to ban students from consulting Wikipedia. You can find out more about her at http://brabazon.net/ – I don’t know whether she’s a relative of yours? Are you a librarian or what was your interest in reading this blog? Were you just Brabazon-hunting?!
