Collective Vision for T,L & S exerciseScenarioIn 2 years T,L & S is working even more collaboratively, innovatively and leading the way for academic libraries across the country and worldwide. So much so that the University has decided T, L & S deserves its own UniLife type publication. Your job is to show us what that magazine looks like. Your audience are:
Group 1 University staff (Academics/PSS)Group 2 Library staffGroup 3 Current studentsGroup 4 Potential students
Your magazine needs to tell these communities what we are doing, what we are planning to do and generally how fabulously we do it!
Your magazine must have at least- An eye-catching cover page – with a sensational headline- A contents page – detailing the articles in the magazine- Brief message from the ‘president’ (or whoever you think is appropriate)
You will be given glue, scissors and marker pens and plenty of magazines you can cut up as well as articles of interest.
10 min sample student icebreaker activity:
Create a collage of your group impression of Manchester or the Manchester student experience
Use materials from boxes on the right hand side of the room, suggest one member of your group collects
the materials while the others discuss the image you wish to create

In your groups, could you now reference where your source material came from for your collage?
