Engineering Conferences Online (ECO) Link

ECO promotes the dissemination of important engineering research that would normally be very difficult, or impossible, to locate.

Papers are generally available free of charge on an open access basis thereby assisting the dissemination of this important research information.

HelpEngine

Just thought I’d share a great guide for engineering students which may be useful. It’s a guide that has been designed to help engineering students find the right information quickly. There are lots of great links on here to all sorts of resources. The guide was compiled by Aslib, The Association for Information Management.

It has sections for General Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and much more.

Harrison Learning Centre changes…..

HLC

There have been a few changes here in Harrison that you need to be aware of.

At the request of users, the third floor (excluding the IT Suite) has now been designated a SILENT STUDY AREA. As you enter the floor from the central stairs or the IT Suite , you will expected to remain silent, switch mobile phones to vibrate and be considerate of others users. Staff will be patrolling the floor regularly.

The group study rooms on third floor are now SINGLE STUDY ROOMS with a PC. These can be booked as normal at the Lending Services helpdesk on ground floor. You will be expected to study individually and in silence in these rooms.

New areas for group study will be available on the second floor, still allowing groups to study together.

Please take notice of the signs in Harrison advising of group or silent study areas.

For more information regarding these changes, please ask at the information helpdesks in the Learning Centre.

InfoBites

Just a reminder that the InfoBites information skills sessions begin next week.

We have a number of sessions at the Harrison Learning Centre throughout the next few weeks. We shall be focusing on Harvard Referencing and EndNote software, but there are also some ‘drop-in’ sessions where you can just come along and we’ll try to help you.

You can see the current timetable on the InfoBites website. Keep your eyes out for next semester’s timetable which will be going onto the website shortly.
