Learning Resources News - The Learning Curve

Thursday, 12 November 2009

Tell us what you think!

Your views are important to us and we want to hear them.

The Learning Curve is your library/learning resource centre - we need your help to find out what you like and don't like about it.

Make sure you fill out a comments slip and hand it back to the desk (it's all totally anonymous!). If you can't find the comments slip - just ask for one!

Ask a Librarian - online!

Need help with a question about library opening times, finding information or using online learning resources?
Now you can contact the Learning Resources team through the online catalogue.
Just log onto the catalogue and then click Ask a Librarian. Then type in your question. For example: Where will I find books on hairdressing?
Type in the barcode number on your matriculation card at the user ID then click Send. A member of the Learning Resources team will respond to your request.
To see our response log into the catalogue and click on My Account. Type in your barcode and PIN. Then click Review My Account then click Requests.
Not got a PIN no? – just bring your matriculation card to the enquiry desk and we will give you a number – remember, you can change this to another number if you want.

NB Ask a Librarian is available between 9.30am – 11.30am and 2.00pm – 4.30pm
