Ljubljana centreA visiting academic rarely gets compliments, but it seems my trip to the University of Ljubljana on a Socrates/Erasmus teaching exchange coincided with a dramatic switch from winter to summer, without the bother of spring intervening. A full lecture schedule – sufficiently full that I would have protested vigorously if I had been asked to do it at my own university – went quickly and enjoyably, thanks to some interested and attentive students. And not least to my efficient colleagues at the Ljubljana library / information department: Primoz Juznic, Alenka Sauperl, Polona Vilar, Vlasta Zabukovec, and Maja Zumer.
