Dear all,
This is to update you all in a change of library policy.
The change concerns our policy on book renewals. In future the library system has been set so that it will automatically renew items that you have on loan. So the good news for you and your students is that this change will hopefully enable you to avoid fines. There will be an e-mail sent to you to say that your items have been renewed for you. The only time that an item is not renewed will be because it is reserved by another user. It is hoped that the new policy will help to encourage students to return items that are reserved by another student.
Please let me know if you have any feedback on the changes, but I think that it is something that will generally be well recieved.
I hope that you all have a lovely christmas break and a happy New Year!

Just to update you all on the progress of the British Standards Online access. The database is now accessible through our databases pages: http://www.uel.ac.uk/lls/resources/databaselistb.htm

New resources
Dear all,
We now have access to the British Standards Online. We are working to get it accessible through your Athens login, however at the moment it is only accessible through the following link: https://bsol.bsigroup.com/en/BsolHomePage/
Thank you, to all of the lecturers that came to the training on the 18th Sept, I hope that you found it useful.
Another resource that I just wanted to draw your attention to is an open access repository called ROSE. It is run by the University of Bristol and seems to have a good collection of Engineering Mathematics and Electrical and Electronic engineering materials. You need to submit your e-mail address to get access, but it is very simple to access. Please take a look: http://rose.bris.ac.uk/dspace/

Reading Lists
Hi all,
The new budgets have now been released and I can now start to order books into the library. I know that I have had some requests already, but I would be grateful if you could start to send over your reading lists for modules to me. I will start to cross check what we have in stock and order appropriately.
If you would like to review the stock in your area, then please feel free to come into the library and see me.

New Library Catalogue
The Library and Learning Services have just brought in a new library management system and with this is a new library search engine. It is easy to search, however if you require any help using it, please call into the library for tution.
I hope that you will all find it easier to use and search once you are familiar with it.
You can find a link through to the new catalogue on the Library and Learning Service webpages:
http://www.uel.ac.uk/lls/
There is also a range of help material, to give you guidance on how to use the new catalogue.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me if you need any further training, or would like me to give a session to any of your 2nd/3rd or 4th year students.

New subject Librarian for CITE
Hi I am Ella, I am taking over as the subject librarian for CITE- all of my contact details are on these blog pages. So please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any help using or finding library resources or need to book any inductions sessions for your students. I will also be happy to run any refresher sessions during the course of the academic year, as I know that sometimes the library inductions are more pertinent when students actually have research/assignments to do.
I look forward to working with you closely over the coming semesters.
I will use the Blog to keep you all posted and up to date on any exciting developments in the world of the Library and Learning Services :)
