We have added inter-library loan forms onto our LIS web pages. You can now fill the form in on screen and print it out – though it still has to be taken to a learning centre for processing.

Further details are available at http://www.wlv.ac.uk/lib/interloan

Please contact me if you have any queries about the service.

Due to a large number of requests for help with EndNote, we are running EndNote workshops each Thursday lunchtimes 1pm-2pm for the next five weeks starting tomorrow (from 2nd April until 1st May) at Harrison Learning Centre. There’s no need to book, just come along if you are interested.

We will also be running InfoBites workshops on Tuesday lunchtimes, please keep an eye on the Information Skills webpages for an up-to-date version of the calendar. If you are a Google Calendar user, you may also wish to add the InfoBites calendar to keep updated with all the InfoBites sessions.

I came across these videos on YouTube recently and thought I’d share them with you. They are a great introduction to using JSTOR.

There are many other videos on YouTube, including tutorials for Google Scholar, so it may be a useful resource to keep in mind.

The Easter Vacation is here……

If you need to use the Harrison learning centre during the vacation we are open 9.00 -5.00 on Good Friday, Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday. We will be staffed by the security staff so you will be able to study, use books, journals and computers and also issue books using the self-service machines.

A list of all our vacation opening times can be found here.

Have a great Easter and see you all soon.
