Visited the Ely library today. There was a distinct lack of course books. In fact, only two books with relevant class number, which is 300-Social sciences – 374-adult education, whilst the CRC library has at least two full shelves of 374 class books. Anyway, the two books I did get were:

• Dawson, C 2003. Returning to education—A practical handbook for adult learners. How to books limited
• Dawson, C 2006. The Mature Student's Study Guide—Essential skills for those returning to education or distance learning. How to books limited

Dawson (2006) does not mention Bloom but does mention something I am familiar with. Writers block. Two of her solutions to this condition are to "Write part of [the] assignment as a diary or a letter to a friend. It may help the words to flow and you can then rewrite when you feel up to it" and "Put together your bibliography or references – you are still working but you won't be affected by writer's block". Both very good reasons to continue this blog!

I also obtained Tiller, K 2002. English Local History. Sutton and also Burnby, J.G.L. 1983. A study of English apothecary from 1660–1760. Medical history supplement. Welcome Institute for the history of medicine but neither of these are for this course.
