hehe ah you caught me out :) It's kinda hard as my existing "channels" are more a diffuse collection of lists and twitter accounts if I'm really honest.. Deffo might be worth starting a wiki page with UK specific resources, just not sure I can handle another channel.. FWIW tho, I'd start by looking in places like http://helibtech.com/Open+Source which points pretty directly to the JISCMail list LIS-OSS (https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=LIS-OSS). Whilst you might think of this as being a little too HE specific, I think it's a pretty diverse community. But really, I'd take my primary information channel as twitter these days (for localised event news and information), checking out the #UKLibChat discussions might be an idea. @ostephens, @daveyp and @benosteen usually have their finger on the pulse of all the good stuff (If we could persuade them to keep their lanyrd pages up to date that would be a pretty amazing resource for events). I think for generic subject oriented questions, it's still good to have a wider community and this list serves that purpose reasonably well. Guess thats where I'd start really, not sure it's much help tho. e On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 9:54 AM, Michael Hopwood <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > What's your favoured UK channel?
