Bite-size session tomorrow

 Learn something new in 20 minutes!

Just a reminder that tomorrow's Bite-size session in the Information Commons is 'What's in the news?', led by Maria Mawson, Faculty Librarian for Social Sciences.

 Newspaper articles are an excellent resource to use for research and coursework across a range of disciplines. In this session Maria will help you find out how newspaper databases provided by the library can help you to collect current and historical news articles to use in your work.

No need to book, just drop in. All sessions are held on Wednesdays in the IC Collaboratory 2 at 12 noon.
For a full list of sessions see the IC blog at http://shefinfocommons.blogspot.co.uk/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sessions are recorded, so if you missed the previous session on 'Promoting yourself online' you can catch up.

New Look Resource Lists

In semester 2 we are changing the look of myResource Lists, the service that allows you to select your course readings online. 

You can still access the service via the Library tab in MUSE, from your MOLE2 courses or from the Library website, but it will look different.

The Library is updating the service, making it even easier for you to find the resources you need. The transition is underway and we welcome your feedback during this period, so please tell us what you think.

We will be launching the new look service fully in September 2013, but in the meantime if you have any queries or problems, please contact readlist@sheffield.ac.uk

Check out a video on using the new-look service here.
