Gibbs recognised that we are all emotional beings and that learning is an emotionally engaged process. This seems curiously at odds with so much of scholarship over the past few centuries, which sought to produce a rarefied product that
There are quite a few extensions for the Google Chrome browser that can transform your web browsing experience. Some strip out visual clutter, some display the page headings structure on one side so you can jump straight to the part of the page you want, while others help you speed read text or read it out to you so you can listen to the printed word. These extensions can make life easier for anyone, whether you struggle to read text, learn better from hearing information instead of reading it, have tired eyes or need to multitask and so prefer to listen, or you learn best by reading and listening to something, separately or at the same time.
Library opening hours and services will be reduced during the Christmas vacation period. Please see the Library Christmas opening hours page for details.
Join me for a jaunt down memory lane back to the days when you were taking your first steps and I was already feeling old. I’ve found a website that recaptures the feel and content of the last vestiges of the early web, which made me reflect on how we got from there to where we are now. The journey turns out to tell the half-forgotten and twisted tale of the rise of the dangerous loner from the dark alleys of the early internet to political centre stage.

I promise you one thing: you will never feel badly again about the design of any website you create after seeing what people proudly put their names to 20 years ago!

We’re just about to ‘do the rounds’ with a series of pop-up stalls around campus where you can chat with a librarian and tell us what we’re doing well and where we’re not yet meeting your needs. As I’m fond of telling folk, we’re a student-led service, and what you tell us today shapes who we become tomorrow. Don’t leave your feedback until just before you leave, tell us today what we can do better that would make you smile 🙂
You can find us on the way into Ravelin Sports Centre next Tuesday and Wednesday, 28-29 November 2023 and you’ll doubtless find us making an appearance elsewhere on campus across the rest of the academic year.
As a current student or member of university staff, you are probably pretty attached to your university card. Possibly physically attached by a lanyard. So it is really annoying to make your way to the Library only to find you have left it behind in your office, home or other coat. Not to worry! While external visitors can only sign in during staffed library hours, you can log into the cardless visit kiosk and obtain a printed temporary pass with a printed barcode that will let you scan in and out through the library turnstiles for the next 24 hours.
Happy Trans Awareness Week! Every year, people and organizations around the country participate in Trans Awareness Week (13-19 November) to help educate and increase understanding about the existence and daily struggles trans people, their friends and families face.
