Follow our steps in Bath

Image
It is a huge privilege for me and Alvina to visit the University of Bath during the end of April and early May. I decided to record a few notes on a daily basis and share it with colleagues on the go. I am really excited about the programme they put together for us. It will include more or less the following: - We will attend a general staff meeting on the first day and do presentations on Stellenbosch University and the Library and Information Service - Sessions with the Reseach Analytics librarian to find out more about their services regarding bibliometrics, altmetrics, et.al. - Sessions with staff involved with Research Data Management - Sessions with different Subject Librarians - Marketing of research services and workshops - Discussions on ORCID and the implementation on campus - We will attend several staff meetings related to the topic of interest (Research Services) We will also be visiting the University of Bath Spa Library (another University in Bath) and the...

Welcome to Bath and Bath University

We arrived yesterday (Sunday 23 April) in the beautiful town of Bath and checked into our flat. It is located right in the centre of town, next to the Roman Baths and the Abbey... After a few busy days of travelling and walking in London, we tried not to walk too far on our first day in Bath, our feet were still aching from the previous day of walking "through London" :-) The University Librarian, Kate Robinson and the Head of Library Research Services, Kara Jones, met us on the first evening and took us out for dinner at a great Lebanese restaurant. They really made us feel very welcome. Thank you Kate and Kara! The University is about 5 kilometres out of town on a hill , so we need to take a bus there every day.

The last day in Bath

Image
This morning we had to pack our suitcases, check out from our flat, and come up to the University one last time. It is with mixed feelings that we have to say goodbye today. We are looking forward to our visit to Oxford for two evenings, and the full day visit at the Oxford Libraries tomorrow, but we are also very sad to leave Bath. This afternoon we will have to say goodbye to colleagues on this side who has put in a lot of effort in scheduling meetings for us, being very kind and friendly all the way. Thank you specifically to Kara Jones, who acted somewhat as our host. She drove us around when we had to visit other campuses, she scheduled and rescheduled all our meetings, and so many other things to make us feel at home. Thank you Kara, we really appreciated your time and kindness . Yesterday we sat in on "Research Data drop-in sessions" which Cathy Pink handled in the Postgraduate Commons area (elsewhere on campus). They moved these sessions to the Postgraduate Commons ...
