The Effective Learning Service has provided most of the information for this new web site with input from the Library, the Disability Advisers and Academic Registry. It’s the latest from the Student Access to Services Programme and aims to support students all the way through their coursework from finding information in the library, taking notes and reading effectively to citing references and compiling their bibliographies. It has sections on essays, reports and presentations, and also on various aspects of academic writing. Regulations relevant to coursework are covered and an extensive Help section includes time management, motivation and coping with stress, as well as full contact details.

We would also appreciate feedback on all aspects of the site. Contact SASfeedback@gcal.ac.uk

More electronic journal articles at your fingertips

The university has increased its ejournal portfolio by 2,200 titles for 2004. We have new deals for Wiley Interscience, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press and a collection from learned publishers including the Royal Society, British Psychological Society and the Institute of Chemical Engineers. In addition we have added new titles for Blackwell Science, Elsevier, Springer Verlag and Kluwer Academic Press.

Our journal portfolio now totals 9,500 titles either in print or online, which means that our staff and students have access to millions of journal articles on and off campus. All titles are being added to the library catalogue and e-journal web pages.

Please contact the library if you would like more information.
