A big welcome to all new Department of Applied Social Studies students at the Bedford, Polhill campus. I hope you enjoy your time with us - and that goes for all returning students too!
As you settle in over the next few weeks there are few things you can do to help yourself get the best out of the Library service. Below are my top tips for all new students:
- Go for a Library tour - tours are available on request for the first 3 weeks of term. Just go to the Library Ground Floor Enquiry Desk and ask.
- Pick up a copy of the Library Handbook. It'll be very useful.
- Try borrowing / returning a book to make sure you can use the self issue machines
- Try logging on to a PC with your netwoek username & password
- If you intend to use your own laptop or other mobile device try connecting to the University's WiFi network.
- Check your UoB Student Gmail account for important messages from the University.
- Try logging onto BREO and see if there are any announcements for the units you're taking
- Try printing from a PC to make sure your account works.
- Try searching the Library Catalogue to find items on reading lists.
- Check out John Smith's bookstall in the Campus Centre for books on your reading lists at a 10% discount
- Go the LR Feedback Blog and leave a comment. You'll be entered into a free prize draw and if selected you'll win £20 of printing credits.
- Subscribe to this blog! I post useful support for your course here including recommended readings for assignments, 'how to' videos, new resources, useful websites, new research, upcoming workshops etc. Remember you can post a comment & give me feedback if you wish.
