The library is introducing a new way of locating and linking to online resources and databases for academic subject areas. Starting today, you will be able to search or browse for online resources, including eJournal and eBook collections, databases, organisational web sites, news services and anything else of quality and relevance to Bradford students and staff via the Library's new eResource web pages.
As a result of recent problems with the new voicemail service (intermittent loss of message waiting indicator), the system will undergo a further software upgrade on the evening of Thursday 12 August. The system will be taken down at 5pm and should be back in service no later than 9pm on the same evening.
If you would like to arrange a Learner Development Unit (LDU) Induction talk for new students in your department please contact the LDU team. A ten minute slot can be provided to introduce the service and the assistance available for students, to help them cope with the demands of studying at university level.
