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.

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials

The Science and Technology of Advanced Materials journal has now become open access which means it is freely available to read.

Taken from the website:

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM) provides an international forum for refereed original contributions, reviews and focus issues covering all aspects of materials science, including theoretical analysis, synthesis and processing, phase and structure analyses, characterization, properties, engineering and applications. The journal covers advances in research on solids, liquids and colloids, with emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of materials science and issues at the forefront of the field, such as nano-, bio- and ecomaterials…

The journal is now published as an open-access model, with all content completely free to read. There is no publication charge, as the costs of publication will be covered by the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).

Off campus access to extra resources

We now have off campus access to extra resources including IEEE Computer Society Digital Library. When you click on the links from the Databases A-Z page you will be prompted to log in using your IT account. For more information see Off-campus access with EZProxy.
