Blogs
Thanks "23 things" I'm running a bit behind schedule but I've really enjoyed the blog thing.  I found a couple of items on a few blogs that were really interesting.  For  a start Derek's blog had a great piece showing the world economy in 38 maps - would be a great teaching resource but apart from that was all round fascinating.  Also check out 40 maps that explain World War One and 40 maps that explain the Roman Empire.
In The Ed Techie was a discussion on open access - quite pertinent in view of the research uploadathons being promoted in the university in Open Access Week 20-24 October. By the way, the FoEd uploadathon is happening Monday 20 October 3-4.30pm in the Library Training Room.
