We visited
Staffordshire University Library in the afternoon.The reason for the visit was
to get reacquainted with the library and what resources that would be
available to us during all hours. For me the most meaningful aspect of the trip
was that I was reintroduced to the whole building and was told where I
could find the art books. The lady also gave some good advice, which I didn't
know before about Staffs University and what’s on their website including the survival kit
and where you can the find the artist / books. I think this tour and talks were
easier to understand as when I came for the first tour, at the open evening, I
wasn't told much about the art books - where I would find them and about the website.
Before we
left the University we continued working on Illustrator. I’m not used to Illustrator
as I haven't worked with it before so it was totally new to me. As I did not
learn Illustrator from the beginning, I am going to find some
tutorial lessons and purchase the CS6 book to guide me through the tool
bar and how to use it at home. The resources at University will also help. Afterwards,
we did some of a Typography lesson and we were then given a little task to
complete on the Internet.

It was an enjoyable activity. I had a few attempts at it and these were
my scores below.
SCORES: 73/100, 74/100, 79/100, 83/100, 84/100, 87/100
When we arrived
at the library, we were taken to the first floor for an introduction about the
library -what they offer, what they can do, support etc.
It was
interesting to know what Staffs’ Uni library has to offer and what the Staff’s
Uni. website does as well. We were then given a tour around the building and
then told about the journals and the different type of books that they get. They
also told us that we just need to ask them if you need anything.
I asked a
couple of questions.
Such as: If we wanted to renew our book
and it was booked out by someone else so we couldn't renew them again, they
would let us know when it would be due back, what fees are charged.
Then we
were given a task to gather research (photos /photocopies) if we could of 4
journals with as many articles as possible.
