LSE's Communications team has launched a blogging service for those looking to start or improve a blog.

 

It will offer expert advice on how to write and edit crisply, ways to build a following, how to integrate multimedia content and  how to analyse a blog’s audience.

 

The service will draw on the skills of Communications staff in blogging, Design Unit, Press Office and Web Services but will, on occasion, involve seasoned bloggers from other parts of LSE.

 

To find out more email Jo Bale in the Press Office j.m.bale@lse.ac.uk| or pressoffice@lse.ac.uk|.

On Monday 4 June 2012 and Tuesday 5 June the Library will be open for 24 hours. Please note, however, that staffed services will only be available between 11am and 6pm.

 

 

LSE staff and post graduate students will be able to access School buildings – on the main campus site – from 9am until 5pm.

Emergencies will be dealt with by a team of LSE security staff on duty at the Old Building reception desk in Houghton Street. They can also be contacted (in an emergency) by telephone on 020 7955 6555.

 

A 24-hour security presence will be maintained throughout the Bank Holiday period.
