UKSG 2013 – We hope you enjoyed the show!

It was great to see so many Librarians and Information Specialists in Bournemouth.

Unfortunately only one of you can take home the Kindle Fire, but I hope all booth visitors enjoyed finding out more about Gold for Gold and what we are doing about Open Access, as well as seeing the UK  launch of The Merck Index* Online.

Back to the business of the Kindle Fire, I am delighted to announce that the winner of our Buzzwire Competition (involving 45 steady-handed librarians), in a staggering time of 17 Seconds, was Claire Gravely, Information Resources Advisor, University of Surrey.

Top 5 Times:

1 Claire Gravely, University of Surrey, UK 17 Secs
2 Monica Crump, NUL Galway, Ireland          28 Secs
3= Jessica Eustace-Cook, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland  29 Secs
3= Marie Barwick, University of Warwick, UK  29 Secs
5 Dag-Even Torsoe, BI Handelshoyskolen, Norway   32 Secs

Look out for an equally challenging competition in Harrogate next year – perhaps involving a different skill!
