“We are going to be running a 24/7 library opening hours campaign here at Northumbria and I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for publicity materials (ie wording for posters) and/or themes. We've got some things together already but I'd love it if we could get some more before making any firm decisions on what to go with.” Martin Rockwell Farr, Vice-President (Education & Welfare) at Northumbria University Students’ Union “Last year here at Lancaster the library hours were extended and we had a "It's about time" awareness campaign. We've also used "the hoff" and him in his baywatch gear on poster with the slogan "i'll be there for you" and then info about the library hours.” Becky Heard; LUSU Education and Welfare Officer “I found these files on my pc which covers some research we did into opening hours. It was valid in August 06.” Andy Mitchell, London Metropolitan University Students' Union Library Opening Times ; courtesy of Andy Mitchell, London Metropolitan University Students' Union Library Opening Hours; courtesy of Andy Mitchell, London Metropolitan University Students' Union

“Swansea University Students' Union is still recovering from the demo; what a
day it was!! We ended up bringing three fifty seater buses and a minibus,
as we managed to secure sponsorship off Amicus and TUC. Did anyone spot
Swansea Students' Union Borat or love chicken? They were out together in
force and they loved it bopping around London.” Stuart Chugga Jones; Education Officer at Swansea University Students Union
