  • Bio

    Information Manager (Digital Resources) at Bath Spa University. The cynics among you may prefer to call me a Librarian!

    I have recently become obsessed with all things HTML/CSS. This site runs on Wordpress, now re-launched with my very own theme.

    I love symmetry in web design, as well as the use of pastel colours as a compliment to black and grey headings. Shoot me now.

    My blog discusses things of personal interest, as well some (potentially very dull) work-related ramblings.

    Enjoy.

    JISC Digital Media – Surgery

    Posted on October 7, 2009 by Matt1 Comment

    A service that deserves some extra exposure: JISC Digital Media’s surgery. The service is vital (and free) for Librarians living in a technological driven environment where we are constantly seeking ways to utilise technologies and promote our services.

    The surgery service is superb. Every Wednesday afternoon you can join the online sessions, which includes specialist staff and representatives covering many different areas of digital media.

    I joined the first session on 23rd September, joining discussion on recording podcasts. It wasn’t long however before I took discussion in another direction, opening me up to a whole range participants and staff interested in talking about our new image management system.  I now have some useful contacts as we seek to build up and promote our new Image Management System.

    The next sessions are as follows:

    • Using screen casting 21/10/2009
    • Digital lifecycle 1 04/11/2009
    • Basic mic technique and placement 18/11/2209
    • Using Flickr 02/12/2009
    • Choosing a recording space 16/12/2009

    I am tempted to join ‘Using Flickr’, as it may provide me with some additional ideas on using the service for promotion.
