Getting the most out of Library resources Linda Purdy and Claire Abson Learning and Information Services

Where does this evidence come from? NSS and other surveys Feedback forms Staff student meetings

" Number of recommended texts not available in library" “Very few things from the reading list were in the library.” “Lack of books in the learning centre when 2 and 3 cohorts all require the same reading” “Not all key texts suggested for our modules are available in the library. The ones that are available need to have more copies of them.” "Difficult to access things on reading lists in the library. Quite often there is not enough.”

Resources you might include… catalogue record for books or print journal e-book or e-journals (complete item or specific chapter/article) PDF of digitised print book chapter or journal article website (home page or 'deep link') catalogue record for DVD catalogue record for online video or radio broadcast image 'media groups' in SHIMMER
