Brought to book

As part of a new approach to bibliography, and to introduce the new first year group of games design students to the library, during last week's session we descended en masse on the shelves and everybody in the group took out at least couple of books (some were seen carrying stacks of three or four books through the exit gate, and the alarm only went off a couple of times!)

It was a sight to behold and, as we left, the shelves seemed somewhat lighter (about a hundred books lighter, by my reckoning).

After raiding the library for books, the students were set the task of posting a short Harvard-style bibliography containing a couple of items to their blogs.

Later the same morning one of the games design tutors was overheard expressing surprise that the books he had gone to the library to borrow had already been taken out!
