Are you working this vacation..?

With upcoming exams to revise for and maybe some project work to plan in early 2008, some of you will have stuffed your luggage full of library books with great intentions to study at home during the vacation! 

However, don’t forget that the university library can provide access to a lot of content online that you might find useful while you are away from the uni too.

So long as you use the links from the library webpages you can access electronic resources, (such as databases and e-journals for finding useful research articles as well as e-books) from off-campus with only your BUCS username and password required to login. If you aren’t sure how to use these things, have a browse around the library website for our guides pages.  Hopefully, we have put enough information online to get you started if you haven’t used these resources before.

Enjoy the vacation!
