Laptops in Basement

We have received complaints from users of the Basement in Brookfield Health Sciences Library that the keyboard clicking of wireless laptops is causing irritation. In response we have created a delimited area for laptop use in the Basement in the hope this may deal with the problem.

We hope to get full cooperation from laptop users in this experiment. We would be very pleased to get any feedback from you on how well this experiment is working – has it solved the problem or are there other possibilities?

New staff ID card is Library Membership card

With the introduction of the new UCC Staff ID card it has become possible for us to help lighten the load you have to carry!

For several years now students have needed only their UCC ID card to avail of library services; however, staff members had to register and carry a separate piece of plastic. The introduction of the new staff ID card allows you to change that.

Any member of staff who wishes to change over can do so on their next visit to the library - just mention it to library staff and produce your new ID card - we'll make the change over in a couple of seconds and you can throw away the old library membership card.

UK PubMed Central set up!

Since January 2007 biomedical researchers have been able to submit their own published results and papers for inclusion in a new online resource.

UK PubMed Central is based on the model currently used by the US National Institute of Health providing free access to an online archive of peer-reviewed research papers in the medical and life sciences.
