We have a free trial of the Psychotropic Drug Directory as part of Medicines Complete until 31 December 2023. The Psychotropic Drug Directory includes over 12,000 key references and more than 150 psychotropic drugs with links to further sources of useful information also available from Medicines Complete, making it a great aid for multidisciplinary teams seeking to confidently and quickly manage clinical scenarios.
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.
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.
Learn directly from the experts from ProQuest how to trace the development of British politics from the 17th century onwards and explore the vast tracts of magazines and periodicals from nineteenth century penny dreadfuls to richly illustrated family magazines, temperance campaigns, political satire and twentieth century popular journalism. This webinar will have something of interest for everyone from history, politics and social science students through to journalists, typographers, and layout designers interested in the history of their arts.
Have your say over on the Whatuni website and you could win a £200 voucher. Whatuni is the UK’s largest source of independent, real, honest student reviews on those things that matter to prospective students. Tell them what you thought …
Paper is an interesting material. It shares many properties with the wood it is made from, being flexible in thin sheets and strong in compression in bulk. It is this combination of properties that makes paper engineering such a fascinating art and science.
We’ve really enjoyed hosting the paper sculpture and pop-up craft exhibition by Derek (Mac) Mccullough, which is now moving to the Eldon building but you can still enjoy images of the exhibits on the Library website.
We’re bringing back our ever popular referencing drop-ins! We answer referencing questions by email, online chat, face to face at the Library skills drop-in and you can even book appointments to sit down with a a librarian and a long list of referencing questions. Yet, what we’ve found, year in and year out, is that we see more of you when we pop up in another part of the Library than we ever get to come to us.
Whether it is the colourful banner, the smiling librarians in plain view, or the sight of so many other people stopping by to offload their referencing woes and come away feeling better, we’re not sure. What we do know is that you like them, so we’re popping up again next week! Look out for our stand in the Library Atrium from 11 am – 3 pm between 13 – 24 November.
If you are using primary historical sources in your studies, join our Gale primary sources reps at their drop-in running in the Libary Atrium today between 11 am and 3 pm. Jo and Charlotte will be offering tailored advice on finding the best evidence for your research from the extensive and diverse collections of primary sources available.
There are many free downloads for the Google Chrome web browser. Some of the plug-ins and extensions available from the Chrome Web Store render the web easier to read and understand, particularly if you struggle with large blocks of text or distracting side bar images.
Love lists? Use them to manage your projects. Add list items, reorder and reprioritise tasks, colour-code, tag, debate, add checklists and move them to other lists. Group them on boards and link boards together, with entire boards full of sub-project lists. The possibilities are endless… a little like my ‘to do’ list.
