Study, dissertations, headaches housemates

Just had an Idea that I could use this blog to track my ideas and progress for my dissertation and maybe fidddle about learning how to blog and practice with other social networking tools too.

I am currently struggling with 3 assignments for Uni, but am feeling positive about them at the moment-only three weeks till hand in date!

My lovely new flatmate has kindly offered to cook dinner..all my moaning did it!

Dissertation topic: My topic I have finally decided on is:
Can Libraries Reach Excluded Communities? an examination into Islington Libraries Community project "New Horizons"

I will hopefully be able to interview staff and customers, maybe do a survey as well. I will find out the background to the project, why they started it-how they got the idea-did they see something similar elswhere or come uo with it on their own?

I will do my own research into other similar projects, and using all the data I find-analys how the project has gone-has it improved lives? are these communities now using "proper" libraries? and more....

First I have to write a decent proposal-I guess expand on alot of what I has just been rambling about. then its on with it!

however before I even start with that-it's back to my current assignemnts due May 2nd! argh-info society here I come!
