Melissa's UK Adventures: ACADEMIC- National Library of Scotland
http://melissasukadventures.blogspot.com/2009/08/academic-national-library-of-scotland.html
30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Monday, July 27, 2009. ACADEMIC- National Library of Scotland. The National Library of Scotland has taken a page out of the museum handbook and is reinvigorating the way libraries do business (or at least displays). While the majority of patrons come in to do research in one of the two main collections, Scottish authors and Scottish culture, there are also a large number of people who visit just to see the library’s featured exhibit.

Melissa's UK Adventures: ACADEMIC-The Caird Library at the Greenwich Maritime Museum
http://melissasukadventures.blogspot.com/2009/08/academic-caird-library-at-greenwich.html
30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Monday, July 20, 2009. ACADEMIC-The Caird Library at the Greenwich Maritime Museum. A trip to The Greenwich National Maritime Museum is so much more than just exhibits and tours; it is an interactive journey though time and the deep blue sea. And of course, you can stand on the prime meridian. The opportunity to be in both the eastern and western hemispheres at one time is an experience that should not be missed.

Melissa's UK Adventures: ACADEMIC- The National Archives of Scotland

30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. ACADEMIC- The National Archives of Scotland. This picture courtesy of the website of the National Archives of Scotland. And can be found here. A national archive does not sound like it would be on the cutting edge of digitization technology, but then again, why not. After all, as Education Director Margaret McBigole pointed out to us, digital records can be altered in ways that original records simply cannot. Clarification of Last Post.

Melissa's UK Adventures: ACADEMIC-Edinburgh Central Public Library
http://melissasukadventures.blogspot.com/2009/08/academic-edinburgh-central-public.html
30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Monday, July 27, 2009. ACADEMIC-Edinburgh Central Public Library. Pictures courtesy of Dr. Teresa Welsh's personal photo album.). I think I found my twin in Scotland! There is so much I could say about the Central Public Library. It is spirited and a vivacious community center. It is a Carnegie Library, more impressive because Carnegie was a Scottish son before his parents moved to the United States. It is actually housed in two buildings! A Couple of Notes.

Melissa's UK Adventures: ACADEMIC- Bodleian Library at Oxford University
http://melissasukadventures.blogspot.com/2009/08/academic-bodlein-library-at-oxford.html
30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Thursday, July 23, 2009. ACADEMIC- Bodleian Library at Oxford University. I left Oxford University with more questions than when I arrived. Then again, isn’t that the sign of a great university? A student should never leave feeling they have learned it all but with a greater thirst for knowledge than ever before.

Melissa's UK Adventures: ACADEMIC-The British Museum
http://melissasukadventures.blogspot.com/2009/08/academic-british-museum.html
30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Oh, the British Museum. How you foiled me. Seriously. It wasn't cool. I came to sit at the foot of the Rosetta Stone and have my mind blown at the Japanese collection you have amassed. I have heard you have an amazing children's collection, but alas, I was unable to see it with my own eyes. Why? Because your might was far too powerful for my will.

Melissa's UK Adventures: Scotland

30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Monday, July 27, 2009. This picture used courtesy of my classmate, Megan! The people are so friendly too. The air is so fresh and clean, the mountains are beautiful, and the weather is cool and pleasant (I am convinced it is really October and not July). See above for a cute Highland Cow). More about Scotland later, I am off to write some postcards. More soon! August 20, 2009 at 2:35 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Clarification of Last Post. Random O...

Melissa's UK Adventures: Ireland-A Perfect Day
http://melissasukadventures.blogspot.com/2009/07/ireland-perfect-day.html
30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Thursday, July 30, 2009. I am writing from a small internet shop in Ireland and I can honestly say that today was one of those perfect days in life! After starting off the day with a hot breakfast, my friends and I departed for a bus tour to Wicklow. I spent time in a bog (more on that later, only 15 minutes left here), went through a monastery, and stood on the fields and bridges were several movies were filmed including Braveheart. PS I Love You. There's so...

30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. ACADEMIC-The National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Http:/ www.chihuly.com. Even better, if there is a gallery near you that has one on exhibit, run out to see it! The National Art Library gave me one of the best schoolings in how to run a library I have ever received. They very much run with a public library mindset while still maintaining a special library collection. Even though there are only two public a...It wa...

30 Days, One Student, Hundreds of Adventures. Friday, July 31, 2009. Clarification of Last Post. Just a quick clarification fom my perfect day-I do know that Heidi did not take place in Ireland! It was supposed to be an anaolgy (one that I will have to go back and rewrite), but it came back to me that Heidi did not actually take place in Ireland so I wanted to clear up any confusion before everyone thought this literary adventure was all for naught!
