Monday (or rather Tuesday!) after the long weekend

Today it feels as if the holiday is over (3 days really felt like a long holiday in and around Bath). We have lots to report on from our meetings on Friday, but today is quite full with a visit to the Bath Spa University and two other meetings this afternoon. Therefore I will only post a few pictures of Bath for now...



Lots of parks and green in Bath

It was great to have a whole hour and half talk with them, all around the use of Pure, Pure Portal and Research Impact, etc. Their definition of research impact is a bit different than ours. Here it is about social and economic impact and nothing to do with academic impact / bibliometrics. They have to report (REF reporting every 6 years) on the social and economic impact of their research.

We will attend a Library Consultative Group meeting on Friday where the results will be discussed. The rest of the morning went to the presentations we had to do. About 20-30 staff members from the Library and elsewhere attended. Stellenbosch University asked us to do a presentation about the University itself. We used a few sources for this: a presentation the International Office sent us (we could only use a few slides from this as it was actually meant for a specific meeting and not all applicable for such a presentation); a Facts and Figures slideshow we found on the SU webpage and  Alvina also included an introduction to the Faculty of Medicine an...
