Del ici ous Links
http://www.uel.ac.uk/lss/subjectpages/index.htm
Another point that has come up during our questionnaire sessions - the above link goes to the Subject Pages on the Library Webpage. These are lists of general websites, grouped by subject. The Computing page had nothing on it when I inherited it so I created a set of Del ici ous links. But I would really appreciate any suggestions from lecturers as to any other links that would be useful to students.
This goes for Surveying, Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering as well. Those pages have links but not through Del ici ous. When I have a chance I will change them over because I think that it is a much more logical arrangement. So, any suggestions for additional links would be most welcome.

Reading Lists
Some issues have come up since I have started doing the Library Questionnaires, so I wanted to address them ASAP.
Lecturers usually order their books through their library representatives (see previous post) but are some are not aware that they should send me their complete reading lists so that I can input them onto UEL Reading Lists. There is a link on the Library Homepage.
http://161.76.217.1:8080/talislist/index.jsp
The reading lists take the students straight into the catalogue, or to an electronic article, or website.
It is a very time consuming process to enter the data, but really worth it for the convenience for the students. But unless the lists are kept up to date, they are not alot of use.

Library Questionnaire
Happy New Year to all of you.
During the next few months, I will be emailing all of the SCoT lecturers to arrange appointments to complete a short Library Questionnaire. We will be able to feed your comments back into our Service Plan and hopefully highlight your specific needs. Many thanks for your cooperation.
