Hundreds of online votes* were cast to determine the celebrity winners in thirteen hotly contested categories from TV and Sport to Radio and Politics. Voters were asked to consider celebrities’ looks, style, personality and behaviour. And the winners are... Tastiest TV duo – ITV’s This Morning Phillip Schofield & Holly Willoughby Phil and Holly were voted the Tastiest TV duo with nearly half of all votes cast.

  • Bickley & Corrall (2011) E-Print
    Corrected pre-print, February 2011 Accepted for Reference Services Review, 39 (2) Student perceptions of staff in the Information Commons: a survey at the University of Sheffield Rachel Bickley Library Services, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK Sheila Corrall Information School, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK Abstract Purpose – Technology has transformed teaching and learning environments in tertiary education, introducing new collaborative library spaces and developing the roles and skills of library staff. Academic libraries need continually to re-examine their services to ensure they meet student needs. The current survey aimed to discover how students perceived staff in the Information Commons (IC) and whether their perceptions of staff attitudes and skills influenced their use of library resources. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire containing closed and open questions was distributed electronically to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Sheffield, obtaining 250 responses (c1% of the student population). Findings – The results showed that most students were unable to distinguish different groups of staff, were unaware of their departmental librarian and did not recognise the academic role of librarians. However, those who had sought assistance in the IC or attended classes delivered by librarians had positive views of their experiences. Research limitations – The timing and fixed duration of the study limited the size and nature of the sample, the generalizability of the findings and depth of the investigation, but sufficient data were collected to establish patterns of behaviour and identify important factors. Practical implications – Low awareness among students of the expertise of librarians and their capacity to provide academic support indicates a need for more promotion to ensure library resources are properly utilised.

For many of you this will be your first time in Sheffield and we strongly recommend taking time to explore this vibrant and ever evolving city. Formerly an industrial hub, Sheffield has blossomed into a multicultural and modern city and is home to a range of `hipster' coffee shops, several award winning breweries and of course tourist hotspots like the home of snooker (The Crucible) and the Peak Distinct. We hope all of you take this opportunity to meet your fellow students, converse and come to love this fantastic part of South Yorkshire. In this booklet you will find all the information about the RSC this year, from the conference programme, talks schedule, social events to details on your accommodation in the Endcliffe stu- dent village.
