Hi All, Did you know that during this week in... 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from the Island of Elba. He then began his second conquest of France? Sounds like a scenario that the writers of Gilligan’s Island should have given more consideration to. The sight of Gilligan and Mr Howell storming the Bastille could have become one of televisions enduring moments. In 1926 John Baird, a Scottish inventor, demonstrated a pictorial transmission machine called television. Obviously he anticipated that the writers of Gilligan’s island would have used his technology to adapt the Napoleon scenario, they say the fact that they didn’t scarred him for life. Apparently he only cheered up when TV Week started an awards ceremony in his name.

Well, first week of Uni. Don’t be overawed, you won’t remember everything you were told last week at O week or will be told this week but know you can always ask. Don't forget the old saying "A wise man has many more questions than answers". We at the library mustn’t be very wise coz we have lots of answers for you. We will be running classes on finding information and how to use this mysterious thing called Endnote. Come and see us. Marcos
