Copyright Waffle Episode 21 Cory Doctorow

In this episode our guest, Drew Whitworth (University of Manchester), chats to Josh Rodda about the remote island of Saint Helena. Perhaps best known as the venue for Napoleon's exile, Saint Helena has a deeper history of commercial governance and scientific research, and the arrival of high-speed internet is about to have lasting effects on its consumption and production of information. Drew has been conducting research into the island's current information literacy practices, and into the inhabitants' preparations (and expectations) for the coming acceleration of communications technology.

Episode 5: Broadband on Saint Helena (with Drew Whitworth)

Jane and Chris talk to Richard Ovenden OBE: Bodley's 25th librarian (and Chris's ultimate boss) about leading one of the world's greatest research libraries, his best selling book 'Burning the Books' and the copyright implications of preserving knowledge in the 21st century.

Copyright Waffle Episode 25 With Professor Carys Craig

A song written for the 20th anniversary of the LILAC Information Literacy Conference 2025 performed live at Cardiff University following Professor Jane Secker's keynote talk on Tuesday 15 April 2025

This LILAC song 2025

Raag Bhairavi (Hindi: भैरबी) (Urdu: بھیرویں‎) is a Hindustani Classical heptatonic (Sampurna) Raag of Bhairavi Thaat. Traditionally it is a morning raga. In modern times, at least in Khyal Gayaki, it is usually performed as the concluding (finale) piece in concerts. It is the defining raga of its own Thaat.
Carnatic music has a Bhairavi raga which is quite different from the Hindustani raga.
Hanumatodi in Carnatic music has the same scale as the Bhairavi in Hindustani music.
