Sadly, Jacques' health continued ...

Cambridge Library Group: February 2015
http://cambridgelibrarygroup.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 February 2015. Storytelling and selkies with Gillian McClure. Image reproduced by kind permission of Gillian McClure. It was fascinating to hear about the creative process involved in formulating a character and a story. Sometimes a story could begin with a simple image – like a hen nesting in the tail of a fox ( Flood. 2014) or a line of sticks in the sand ( Selkie. 2010) Sometimes a story could begin with a friend recounting the antics of a kleptomaniac cat ( Tom Finger. Dummy', pages 6-7.

A bit about me. What I've been reading. Friday, 15 June 2012. CPD23 Thing 7, revisited. I'd hoped to be able to go to the CPD23 networking event in Cambridge yesterday, but unfortunately Rory needed our car in the evening, so I'll have to settle for writing about Thing 7 instead! I've not blogged about any of the Things so far this year, as I'm still using them in pretty much the same way as before. However since last year's post. I joined the Cambridge Library Group. Like many librarians, I'm somewhat o...

The Graduate Trainee Librarian Scheme. 23 Things for Professional Development. Monday, 25 June 2012. Things 8 and 9. Google Calendar and Evernote. Evernote is something I have never encountered and at a first glance I though it must be Endnote! It looks quite an interesting piece of software, and something that would be immensely useful to me. I hope that it is something I will play around with a bit more and possibly use when studying for my Masters from September. Location: Cambridge, UK. I had a littl...
