If you have a smartphone, navigate your browser to Search@Library and it will automatically redirect to the mobile Search@Library interface.

Skills collection

There is a new Skills collection on level 8 of the Edward Boyle Library. You'll find general books on study skills, research skills, critical thinking, reading, writing, note taking, maths, assessment/exams, coping with stress, organisation and communication skills.

Use Search@Library to locate books on a particular topic.

Photocopiers replaced with Print, Copy, Scan machines

We've replaced photocopiers with multi-function Print, Copy, Scan machines in all main campus libraries. These are already used for printing and scanning in ISS clusters, so you may already be familiar with how they work.

The MyPrint service is available to all staff and students, and provides access to on-demand printing, copying and scanning facilities. There are more than 60 Print, Copy, Scan machines across campus. You can check your print account, buy more printer credits, and find out more about printing services via the IT & Libraries tab on the Portal.

New ways to keep in touch

You can now find Leeds University Library on Facebook ("like" us before 31 October 2012 to have a chance to win a Sony eBook Reader) and you can follow our teams on Twitter.

Portal

The main differences for this academic year are some small changes to the look and feel, with reduced wording wherever possible. We hope this improves the user experience without changing the essentials that students and staff are familiar with.

Relocation of the Psychology Collection   

The Psychology Collection has moved from the Edward Boyle Library to the Health Sciences Library, bringing all Faculty of Medicine and Health collections together. Use Search@Library to locate books on a particular topic.

How to get from Edward Boyle Library to Health Sciences Library

Edward Boyle Library stack re-ordering

We've reorganised and respaced everything in the stack into one easy-to-use alphabetical sequence.

The Final Chapter: the undergraduate research project guide

The Final Chapter is a new online guide designed to help with your final-year research project. Topics covered include "planning and preparing your project", "doing a literature review" and "critical thinking and evaluation". The resource contains videos of Leeds staff and students talking about final-year projects, including their top tips for success.
