Kim: I was mainly nominated for the 2013 information literacy award because of my approach to student support. In essence for trying to be the librarian I really, really wish I’d met in 1998 when – as an elderly undergraduate – I started university. I’m lucky at Cumbria that I work within a team of like minded information practitioners who feel the same way as I do; that we want a student to leave a workshop or appointment muttering under their breath, ‘Oh, I get it now…’ I’m really happy that one of my like-minded colleagues is able to be with me today to talk about a case study of an extension of the kind of initiatives that got me nominated.
Em. Our team are also involved in: Open Days, Post Offer Applicant days, when we get to meet applicants and their parents; pre-induction preparation, Headstart, Peer Assisted Study Sessions, Mentoring Schemes & other retention initiatives
