Book Returns box

Our Dear Student Union has bought the library a book returns box.

This is an 'out-of-hours' book returns box and can be used when the library closes each evening, until the library reopens the following morning.

The returns box is in the library lobby and will be opened for use when the library system is closed down in the evening, and locked when the library opens in the morning.

Library staff will remove books in the morning and return them, as if they had been returned the previous day. The only exception to this procedure will be the borrowing of Reference books issued for a 2 hour loan period, which must be returned to the library desk at the end of that loan period.

Please do make use of it and if you have any feedback please let us know.

New web resource: Acland's video atlas of human anatomy

The library subscribes to an excellent new resource - Acland's video atlas of human anatomy:

Acland's Anatomy supports the teaching and learning of anatomy with more than 300 narrated videos of real cadaver specimens. Our subscription gives you access
via the Intranet (login required) on and off-campus. This anatomy atlas explores the fundamental structures of the musculoskeletal system, the head and neck, and the internal organs, using rotating videography showing structures and movements in three dimensions.

New AECC Library Integrated search



The AECC Integrated search (available via our databases intranet page) is our new search interface which allows you to search across a range of major databases simultaneously.

It searches across PubMed, Index to Chiropractic Literature, MEDLINE (full-text), AMED, Alt-Health-Watch, Cochrane Library, Best Bets (& some e-books) all from one search bar.

The database will also make finding AECC full-text articles a more seamless, and faster, process.

Please carry out a search and give us your feedback.

Borrow a DVD for longer: DVDs are now One-Day-Loan

If you have any feedback, comments or questions, please let us know.
