30 Day Get Searching Challenge – winners announced!

Many congratulations to the winners of the 30 Day Get Searching Challenge virtual trophy. This year’s challenge has 8 winners: Katie Abranson, Sandra Bamborough, Sandra Blaj, Heather Chesters, Katarina Homolova, Chris Li-In-On, Alicia Lucas Garcia and Sui Jing Ly. All winners managed to complete the challenge by undertaking 30 days of online activities within a six week period, which ended at midnight on Sunday 22nd July 2018.

The challenge is an online course for UCL Library Services colleagues, which took place over six weeks this summer. Participants could choose to follow one of two pathways:

• Pathway A: to learn about or refresh skills in searching library resources
• Pathway B: to explore and learn about different ways to present and deliver online library skills material

Gold, silver and bronze virtual badges were awarded for completing 25, 20 and 15 days respectively. Congratulations to the following colleagues who achieved badges:

• Gold: Kate Brunskill, George Finnigan, Gillian Mackenzie, Yuriko Nakano, Robert Seymour, Danny Williams
• Silver: Sharon A James, Rachel Perrins, Nadia Van Der Westhuizen

Well done to everyone else who attempted the challenge.

Now the challenge is over, it remains available on the UCL Library Services Staff Summer School Moodle course as a training resource for any member of library staff to access and has now been opened up so you no longer need to complete one ‘day’ before moving on to the next, but can dip in wherever interests you. If you have difficulties accessing the course or have any questions please contact library.skills@ucl.ac.uk.
