6. Robinson Library Result! – fab feedback within University “New guide looks great thank you” : Stage 3 Sociology student “Many thanks for sending around the link to the new library page for politics. It is really a terrific resource for students (and staff)” : Postgraduate Research Director I just thought I’d thank you and colleagues for the time you put into setting-up the Singapore library guides. We found that there are various ways into some of the e-resources off-site, not all of which give full text access (journals) or sometimes have time restrictions on viewing e-books; and without the guides we would have been in a bit of a mess here – students had no difficulties using these very quickly (so thanks very much!): Programme Director, Singapore I was in one of your sessions on the library the other day. Am emailing for 2 reasons. Firstly, just wanted to express how much I LOVE the libguide for SELLLL... it might be the best thing since... well, point 2 on this email. It's fantastic and easy to use and I love it. : English Literature student T&L Conference, Newcastle, June 2013
