Hello from Scotland!

I'm just back from lunch, after giving my UKSG talk first thing this morning. Here are slides plus notes:

I'm aware that some of the notes are cut off owing to font size; I'll fix that as soon as I have a free minute. I also have slides only up, but this deck is a little more gnomic than some I've done, so I don't know how useful that'll be.

I'm having a wonderful time, and am very grateful to UKSG for the invitation (as well as their wonderful hospitality). You can follow the sessions via a cadre of brilliant livebloggers at UKSG's LiveSerials blog.

Next Monday I'll be at UKOLN in Bath talking about libraries and data. If you're in the area, I'd love to meet you!
