What does PRS mean to you?

• Difficult to measure effectiveness

Reasons for change

• To make induction fun and slightly light-hearted

Aims
The Science Team would advocate PRS because…
• It enables students to communicate with us whilst remaining anonymous – however shy and retiring they may be they can still join in
• It’s fun and improves the image of librarians and libraries!
• Students are looking at the screen not the presenter – props are good!

Library Services
The Science Team would advocate PRS because…
• Provides opportunities for us to make our talks reactive – what we say depends on their responses
• It enables staff to gauge student opinion of the library and our induction
• We get to play at being stand up comics• (students love prizes – if a million isn’t available
Wagamama vouchers will do)

The Science Team would warn prospective PRSers…
• That initially you have a colleague with you to set up, press buttons, troubleshoot with handsets and hand out leaflets.
• To check out the space and facilities you will be using beforehand
• To set up equipment in advance if possible• You will need to book the equipment• Ensure you practice first
