There was an interesting article in today’s Guardian ‘Taken as read’ about the use of living books by Dorset library service. This is where a person can be ‘borrowed’ to talk about social/cultural issues and subjects such as oral/social history.
This seems to have relevance to education where academics/tutors could be ‘lent’ out to provide support to students. Although this sounds unlikely in effect it already happens in those institutions which provide drop-in support for study skills and basic skills.

No further news on when the English FE LRS toolkit will be published in hardcopy but the updated electronic version is available on the CoFHE website.
I believe the Welsh LRS toolkit should be published in the very near future and should appear on the fforwm (Welsh association of colleges) website.
Both toolkits will be promoted at the 2009 CoFHE Conference in Edinburgh
CILIP has published a supplement as part of JISC’s ‘Libraries of the Future’ campaign. The supplement includes some examples of JISC’s role in supporting FE learning resources and coverage of web 2.0 in HE/FE.
