Next – Time for you guys to do some work!
Next – electronic resources
Demonstrate – accessing the “bell doing your research” e-book (how to download it/read it)
Explain – that e-journals work the same (except once you download the PDF of a Journal Article you have it forever to save and print)
Next – reserving books
No need to demonstrate – talk through the slide.
Find the item – click “request item”
Next – this continues (logging into your library account)
Again – just talk through the slide
Next – renewing books
You will get an automatic email sent to your university email a few days before the book is due to be returned to remind you to either return it or renew it.
Therefore it is important to get into the habit of checking your University Email every day
If someone has requested the book then you will not be able to renew it
Keep an eye on your Library account so as not to rack up a lot of charges
If you have £20 or more charges on your account it will be locked
BUT – no one wants this to happen – so – if that situation looks like it might happen then get in touch with the Library straight away so we can help you.
