Also for those who have visited perhaps just once and felt they have not had the best out of it. \nThis is a group participation live computer assessment of the TNA website and their Discovery search engine\, finding out how to be undaunted by it so that you can make the most of your visit. \nYou can use your own laptop or suitable mobile device and tap in to the BMI WiFi or use the society computers.  Lasts about 2 ½ hours\, places strictly limited. Includes some handouts and time for some 1 to 1 afterwards. At no cost\, but I would be expecting to see you on a coach before too long. Takes place in the group library\, the Kingsley Norris Room at the BMI.
