Abstract This study sets out to investigate the evolving educational role of the academic librarian in the context of Information Literacy (IL) skills provision, by exploring the IL programs offered by a selection of the universities within the Russell Group, and by considering to what extent there is a relationship between the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of academic librarians and the level of integration of IL into the university curriculum. This study focuses in part on the IL programmes offered by individual universities; how appropriate they are for users and how relevant they are in the current rapidly changing information environment. The project also investigates the difficulties of convincing academic staff of the value of IL and the importance of embedding it into the university curriculum for the benefit of their students' education faced by academic librarians A review of the current literature traces the development of the educational role of the academic librarian and emphasises the importance of CPD for them if their skills and expertise are not to become obsolete in the face of the present Higher Education (HE) information environment. Information gathered through analysis of university websites, email questionnaires and individual telephone interviews is used to generate the views of academic librarians about their teaching roles, their

Introduction Welsh, one of the oldest languages in Europe and the oldest language in Great Britain, is a Celtic language descended from the Brythonic languages spoken throughout Roman Britain south of Central Scotland. In post-Roman Britain, in the face of conquests by Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon speaking peoples, the language retreated westwards into what is nowadays known as Wales.

Individual Practice Project
Study aims and context The purpose of this independent practice project is to complete a small scale investigation on an area of interest. Various different areas of interest were looked at by the researcher before deciding upon the area that is to be focused on. It was felt that the other areas of interest to be researched would not have sufficient time to carry them out and therefore reduce the validity of the research. The area of interest that has been studied is challenging behaviour within the early years. Challenging behaviour has been an issue for a long time. It dates back to before the fifties with the well know psychologists such as Pavlov, Bandura and Skinner. The psychologist that the researcher is going to look at is Skinner. He has done lots of work on the area of behaviour. Challenging behaviour has always been an issue in schools. However, many years ago it did not seem to be as much of an issue as it is today in our schools. The extent of challenging behaviour varies from school to school. Each school has their own procedures to follow with regards to challenging behaviour. There are vast amounts of data out there to help us understand what it is and how we can support the children who exhibit signs of challenging behaviour and how we can support the teacher, other pupils, parents and other people who come into contact with children with challenging
