  1. @lisadempster Just as well I'm generally a Vitasoy kind of guy. Although I think my local cafe uses Bonsoy. :( Thanks for the heads up.
  2. @sirexkathryn Couldn't you create your own .wav of "buh-bow"? There's nothing like the personal touch! :)
  3. Bond back in full. FTW.
  4. @marcfennell Ah well, I can certainly live with that. :)
  5. @marcfennell Too dated? Too much high-camp sugar-coating? Too much Geoffrey Rush?
  6. @plumpesDenken eg. if students can pass a course without ever using an online database, is it because the course deems them unnecessary?
  7. @plumpesDenken That said, I think academic expectations also dictate information retrieval practices...
  8. @plumpesDenken So that once they get to uni, things like online databases and information evaluation aren't totally foreign to them!
  9. @plumpesDenken Interesting convo - I'm currently looking at best ways to instill these kinds of skills at a secondary school level.
  10. @plumpesDenken But if they find resources via recommendation, then they need to learn to network and find valuable human sources of info.
  11. @SnarkyWench My only wisdom in this case concerns missplaced apostrophes. ;)
  12. @socialmelb I am. It'll be a first time for me, too...
  13. RT @ActuallyNPH: Holy wow, gang! I won! Thanks a million for voting. This totally makes up for the Peoples Choice Awards that I was stra ...
  14. @plumpesDenken And that, as librarians, we need to guide them to do so through the implementation of various social media?
  15. @plumpesDenken Ah I see what you're saying - that students need to learn to interact with the academic world, rather than simply trawl it?
  16. @plumpesDenken Ah, but how does that fit into the academic notion of best research practices? Is it a reflection of academic culture?
  17. @mikestuchbery And you wonder why Indians think Australians are racist...
  18. @Rombloggy But even more than that - liaison librarians need to get their academic staff on board. Perhaps they see it as being way too hard
  19. @Rombloggy You guys did the whole learning 2.0 program - what was the follow up from that?
  20. @Rombloggy Well, it's good that people are trying it out, but there ultimately needs to be a cultural shift across the whole team.
