Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to share the experiences and challenges faced by the Open University Library (OUL) in using screen capture software to develop online literature search tutorials.

Design/methodology/approach

A summary of information literacy support at the OUL is provided as background information to explain the decision to experiment with screen capture software with particular subjects. A detailed consideration of the design, development and implementation stages of a literature search tutorial in information and communication technology is given before a critical appraisal of the problems encountered.

Findings

The paper highlights the challenges in writing and designing self‐guided online learning materials in a subject context. It considers the strengths and weaknesses of the particular screen capture software used, especially with regard to accessibility.

Practical implications

The paper is of interest not only to other academic libraries, but also any organisation seeking to publish online help or learning materials for different audiences.

Originality/value

This paper is the first to document the use of screen capture software for information literacy purposes in a UK academic library and distance‐learning context.

Abstract

In this issue, we profile two new and very different publications. The first is a compilation of poetry and prose written by users and ex‐users of mental health services across Wales. The second is a booklet published by Social Firms UK, which provides a clear and very useful explanation of what a social firm is. We also provide updated contact details for regional social networks across the UK.

Abstract

While there have been many innovations in the field of work rehabilitation in recent years, there is still a paucity of research in this area. Nevertheless, interest in this area is steadily growing, and in this issue we include short profiles of two research networks that have emerged in the last couple of years‐the Mental Health Employment Research Network and the Inclusion Research Network. Interest in the newer service models has also gathered pace, and we profile Social Firms UK and its regional networks. These networks are playing a key role in encouraging the development of better quality options for work and meaningful daytime occupation.

Abstract

Before this great innovation assaults the long‐suffering British public in mind and matter, in the retailer's cash register and the spender's pocket, a brief comparison between the present coinage and the promised decimal one might not be amiss. The £sd system has its faults and understandably is difficult for the foreigner, but no more so than the language and the weather. Like many things British it is so haphazard: why should there be 240 pennies to the pound? Why 12 pennies to the shilling? One thing, however, about this awkward currency is that it is amazingly well‐adapted to price variations at the lower level, and most commodities are in this range. Whether prices have adapted themselves to the flexibility of the coinage or the other way round is immaterial but the centuries have well and truly married the two. As a lowly coin such as the farthing has ceased to have commercial use with the falling value of money, it has disappeared and its place has been taken by the next larger, the halfpenny and then by the penny, and this must surely be the one great advantage of the £sd system.

Abstract

A retailing company in Cornwall, which was established seven years ago with a working capital of £2,000, now brings in a pre‐tax profit of 16% on a turnover of £3½m. At the same time it advertises on its goods ‘an all round discount on average retail prices of something above 30%’. If one adds that two out of its three branches are operated withoutplanning permission and despite enforcement notices; that its staff is self‐employed (a situation which was instigated at the same time as SET was introduced) and that the owner takes independence to the length of generating his own electricity, one begins to understand that this is a rogue organisation.

Abstract

A MIXED feeling seems to be present in the minds of members of Public Library Committees regarding the clause in the new Libraries Bill which gives local authorities the option of increasing the present limited rate of one penny to any amount up to a maximum total of twopence in the pound. In view of the fact that the extension of the rate can only be made at the discretion of local authorities, it is difficult to see what objections can be brought against it. One of the strongest arguments in favour of an extension of the penny rate limit is that about thirty library districts have varied the Acts by special legislation giving increased rating powers. When one realizes the demands made on Public Libraries at the present day, compared with those made upon them in 1855, when the penny rate was fixed, the suggested increase appears to be only reasonable.
