Library Catalogue – new books fault

W. Ellison, Librarian — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 13:17:05 +0000

Please note that there is presently an updating problem on the Library Catalogue, in that it is not showing newly ordered books. If you cannot find a book which should be in the Library, then come and see your Subject Librarian to see if it is one of the new books that isn’t showing.

Library Workshops

W. Ellison, Librarian — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 11:11:22 +0000

The Librarians will be running a number of short and informative Library Workshops throughout the semester and at both campus sites. These will include sessions on interpreting your reading lists, using e-books, finding journal articles and keeping updated with RSS feeds.

The current schedule of sessions on the Bishop Otter site is detailed on the link below:

Library Workshops

New Library Catalogues & Networked PCs

W. Ellison, Librarian — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:06:50 +0000

Workers are currently in the Library installing the wiring needed for the new Library Catalogue terminals that will be placed at the ends of the stacks. This will enable us to increase the number of networked computers available for student use and ease the problem of overcrowded IT rooms at busy times.

We apologise for the noise and disruption that the work will cause, but hopefully it will be worth it.!
