Completely Shelfless – a podcast from the OU Library!

Listen in to our latest adventure, a new podcast called Completely Shelfless! Our brand new pilot episode is called 'Are you a robot?' which is a question sometimes asked by people contacting the Library Helpdesk.

Manda and Fiona explore whether in fact they are robots and how you might tell. We sprinkle some useful Library tips and interesting resources in with some light-hearted banter.
