Thanks to Kate and Fiona for letting us take some photographs from their office on the 5th floor of the Faculty of Health and Social Care! The new pictures give a great idea of the scale of the tower…

A reminder that the Athens access route is being replaced by the Shibboleth access route. Existing RefWorks users, who have not already done so, must save their existing references and transfer them over to a new account before 30th December or lose existing references. In addition, the RefWorks interface is being upgraded as RefWorks 2.0.

Full information on both of these changes, including full instructions on transferring references to a new account, is available on the library website. The library is also offering the following sessions covering both developments.

Tues 6th Dec: 10-11 or 2-3 in B28
Wed 7th Dec: 12-1 or 2-3 in ABS204
Mon 12th Dec: 10-11 or 2-3 in PA25
Tues 13th Dec: 10-11 or 2-3 in H402
Wed 14th Dec: 10-11 or 2-3 in SB09

Sessions are open to all staff and students who currently use RefWorks. If you would like to attend one of these sessions, please book a place by contacting us via email: libclient@rgu.ac.uk.

Please note that these sessions are NOT for new users of RefWorks. Guidance for RefWorks beginners is available on CampusMoodle.

We’ve just added a new video to the ‘How To’ playlist of our Youtube channel. The new video is a quick guide to finding and accessing ebooks from the Library Catalogue. We’ll be adding more videos soon so subscribe to our channel for the latest updates!

At the moment there is no access to H-drive for students and there is no access to Campus Moodle either. We have contacted the IT department and been told that engineers are currently working to resolve the problem. We will keep you posted.

Following problems with their existing platform which caused these ebooks to be unavailable for approximately one month, the company have now made these titles available via the MyiLibrary ebook platform.  You will be able to find them by searching the library catalogue by author or title or by using the keyword BizEd.  They can also by found by following the MyiLibrary link from the ebooks page and searching for the author or title.  Apologies for any inconvenience caused whilst this transfer was being arranged by the publisher.
