DESCRIPTION

How many times have you written a talk or presentation about a generic subject or database (think referencing, or Web of Knowledge). Sharing and reusing our learning objects can save us time and money, and reduce our overall duplication of effort, and we're trying to do more of it at the University of Birmingham.
