Welcome to the 2014 Academic Year

Welcome to all new students and welcome back to returning students.

There have been many changes to the library over the summer:  a self-check kiosk has been installed and is currently being tested and additional shelving is also being installed.  This will result in a rearrangement of the collection.

Approximately 400 books have been added to the collection since the beginning of 2014 with more to come.

Our new catalogue went live at the beginning of this year which will enable you to search the School's collection from home, make lists, tag items, and export citations for your assignments.  Log-ins will be the same as your photocopier/PC log-ins and your accounts will be activated when the librarian receives your contact details.

Library sessions are being run with each of the Art History classes and sessions on Mendeley (citation management software) will be scheduled in a few weeks.

Here's to a great year of study!
