I'm Catherine Drake and I'm the information advisor for Art & Design at UWIC. We've just done a round of library inductions, so it has been very busy here.
My job involves teaching information literacy skills to students based at Llandaff, managing the book budget, stock collection, enquiry work and a bit of cataloguing.
For this project, I'm going to look into setting up a wiki or a blog for a group of doctoral students that I will be teaching early in October. Many of these students live and work abroad, so this will enable them to access the presentation with links to useful sites & information. I'm focusing on a small group of guinea pigs to assess how useful and successful it will be. If it's something that students appreciate and want, then we can use this as a case study to show management that we need to embed social media more into overall library policy, particularly relating to how we inform and teach our students.
