Monday: evening reception in the GCW Library @ 7pm

Posted on March 7th, 2011 by Paul Stainthorp

If you’re travelling up to Lincoln today (Monday 7th March) and would like to come and meet up with some fellow mashlibbers, we’re holding a pre-Pancakes and Mash drinks reception in the GCW University Library from 7.00pm tonight. The GCW in on Brayford Wharf East, very near the city centre. Directions from Lincoln Central railway station to the University campus are on the Mashed Library wiki: it’s only a short walk from the station to the GCW Library.

If you have any problems finding us, please ring 01522 886222

When you get to the Library, ring the doorbell (to the right of the turnstiles), and we’ll let you in.


And, whether you’re coming to Lincoln today or tomorrow, good luck with your journey!

And now, a word from our sponsor…


Pancakes and Mash might not be happening if it hadn’t been for the generosity of our sponsor, RLUK: Research Libraries UK. A note from Mike Mertens, Deputy Executive Director of RLUK:

Why is RLUK interested in Mashed Libraries?

RLUK, established nearly 30 years ago, originally came into being through the desire to share data between its members. This meant greater efficiency for individual libraries, better exposure of collections, and the provision of new services, to students, staff and researchers. The experience of amassing and making available data tells us that it generates novel ideas and fresh views around what libraries can and should do for their patrons. Time marches on, and so does technology – but the fundamental principle remains the same: how can we best share our expertise and data to improve our users’ potential to create and access knowledge? Mashed Libraries does exactly that, which is why RLUK is happy to lend its support.

Full up of pancakes and mash

Posted on March 2nd, 2011 by Paul Stainthorp

That’s it! We’re full, and not accepting any more bookings for Pancakes and Mash. There are 57 people coming along on Tuesday: a really nice mix of (mostly) HE library people, but also quite a few public library / commercial library folk, developers, and others.
