BOOKMark : Issue 12

Abstract

In this issue of BOOKMark, Library Assistants Joelyn Galea and Melissa Galea recount their ERASMUS experience at University of Cork College Library in Ireland. Discover more about the University Library's treasures at the Special Collections and Archive Department in an article by Mary Samut-Tagliaferro. Fake news is everywhere and it is very important to filter it out, especially during research. The Research tip for this issue is a helpful infographic with great hints on how to recognise fake news. In the DId You Know section we discover the history of the phrase "As Mad as a Hatter". Also, in this issue we get to meet sci-fi and fantasy author Cassandra Clare in Getting to Know. If you enjoy anything vintage, James Licari provides some background information on the old shop signs and how they were made. Whilst Riccardo Flask gives us an thought-provoking insight on Millennials. All this, together with Librarian's Choice of book recommendations and some of the latest book acquisitions.
