Struggling with referencing?  We have a new 5 min video giving a quick introduction.

Uni of Westminster YouTube clips

Need help getting started at the University or need a reminder of how the services work?  Have a look at the University's orientation playlist on YouTube.  A number of topics are covered in the videos including how to get started with Blackboard, how to connect to the wireless network, how to use library search, how to use the printer and more.  The one below shows how to access e-resources from home.  Are there any videos you would like to see that are not covered? Let us know in the comments section of this post.

Library Search tutorials

There are a set of online tutorials now available to help you navigate Library Search, the service that combines searching the library’s print collection and e-resources. Using Library Search you can save your searches and references, check your library account and renew items online.

View the tutorials here.  When viewed in slideshow mode the guides include an audio commentary, but can still be followed if you do not have sound.  They are between forty seconds and two mintues long.

We are aware that Library Search is quite different to our previous systems with a range of features you may not be familiar with so we provide training for staff and students.  Our contact details are available via our webpage: www.wmin.ac.uk/academicliaison
