7-day loan books
As you're all aware, 7-day loan books can now be taken out for the Christmas holidays (this only happens during the Christmas vacation, so make the most of it!)
Vacation opening times
Please note that the library will close at 11AM on Friday 21st December, and reopen at 8.45AM on Wednesday 2nd January 2013.
Don't forget, you can still search databases, read e-books and renew your books using the AECC Portal.
The photograph is 'Forgotten baubles' by Sarah Barker. We thought it was rather lovely and many thanks to Sarah for allowing us to share it.
We wish you all the compliments of the season!
Found a link to access a journal on the A-Z of Electronic Journals only to discover that you cannot access the most recent issues and wondered why?
This is usually because the publisher allows free access to older articles but has a restriction on recent articles – this restriction is called an 'embargo period' - the publisher allows free access to articles older than three, six, nine or twelve months etc. but no access to the most recent content.
It is important to read the availability dates that appear in small print next to the link to a title in order to know if a title has an embargo period.
For example (from our A-Z List of Electronic Journals) – the journal ‘Hand’ is available from three providers from 2006 to present, but includes a one year embargo, meaning the most recent 12 months of issues are not available (image below).
We hope this helps, if you have any questions about this, or accessing e-journals in general, please contact us.
Have you used the Library's new Group Study Room?
Just ask at the Library desk to book it and let us know what you think of it.
The IT Team worked hard over the summer to ensure that all the library computers were replaced with nice new ones with enormous monitors.
We hope you like them!
