Self service holds

Self-collection of hold request books at Docklands Library


Good news for all students and staff at Docklands who request books from the library! You will no longer need to queue at the library counter to collect your hold request, but will be able to pick it up yourself at any time, day or night.

When you have received notification, either by email or text, that your requested book is available for collection, just go to the Hold Request Collection area (to the right of the Library counter) and follow the instructions displayed.

The books will be filed by ID number order. For students this is the number on your UEL ID card; members of staff will find their ID number in the notification email or can contact a member of library staff if they are unsure what it is.

If you have any questions or queries, please email us at p.j.williams@uel.ac.uk

Patent information

Hi all,
I have come across this resource from Loughborough University which has a lot of useful information on patents. I hope it will be useful to you, if you need any information on patents or need to try and trace a patent.

Online access to Architects Journal and New Civil Engineer

Hi all,
It has just come to my attention that we get access to the Architects journal and the New Civil Engineer through our database: Construction Information Service.
I just wanted to draw your attention to it, as I know that we get a number of students asking about accessing it online and until now we thought that we did not have access.
So staff and students can now enjoy reading the AJ articles off campus!

Eduroam

Hi all,
"UEL joins the Eduroam Community
IT Services is happy to announce a new service for all UEL network users. “eduroam” is a new global initiative to help members of the academic community stay connected while visiting other academic institutions.

Currently available in over 80 universities in the UK and over 1000 globally, the service allows users to connect to other universities wireless networks using their home institution credentials. This takes the mantra of 'single sign-on' to whole new levels and heralds a new dawn for inter-university collaboration.

Users with wireless devices should be able to connect to the ‘eduroam’ network , anywhere in the world. When prompted for credentials, your username should be in the format userid@uel.ac.uk . Once your username and password are validated, you are online and can browse the web.

We recommend, where possible, that you connect to the eduroam network at UEL before trying elsewhere. Once you get a profile setup on your wireless device which works on a UEL campus that same profile should work at any participating organisation.

The service went live last week and and has already been used by visitors to UEL from Oxford, Kent, Portsmouth, Queen Mary, Goldsmiths, Essex and SOAS universities.
