This summer sees the start of some major developments at all 3 campuses (Basildon, Thurrock and Southend). As well as an all round tidy up and fresh coat of paint, we've rethought the way we deliver our services in ILT and multimedia. At the forefront of these changes, and the places where they will be most visible, are the libraries.

At each campus we're building a C Space centre, which will be the contact point for all ILT and Multimedia queries, the flagship location for all ILT training, and also a useful help point for IT Helpdesk queries.

This brings ILT team members closer to both teaching staff and students and gives us the opportunity to transform the library into a hub of support for teaching and learning - whether it's through the use of technology, the development of tailored resources, or sharing good practice.

Got alot on at the moment. Course plan system, av equipment and inventory system, my_skills training system, and rolling out a comprehensive range of training from bitesized to advanced levels for pretty much all staff.All of it is top priority, urgent and will result in widescale change. Difficult, challenging, interesting and stressful times !!
