A century on the hill

To celebrate the centenary of the official opening of the University buildings in 1911, the Archives and Special Collections have a new exhibition.

Located in the Vice-Chancellor’s corridor and open to everyone, we have chosen documents that depict the events that led to the erection of the new college on the hill - the Royal visits, the architects competition, and the controversial decision to use slate from Pembrokeshire to roof the building.

The exhibition will be open from the 2nd of July 2011.

Main Library

In response to user feedback for longer opening hours over the summer, the Main Library will be piloting new, increased, vacation hours starting 27th June:

Saturday                  12pm-5pm

We hope that you will take advantage of this service development.

Recalls - What you need to know!

All library stock is loaned on the understanding that items may be recalled if required by another user. The fact that you have not yet finished with a book is not acceptable as a reason for not returning it when recalled.

When You receive a recall:

  • Check the new Return date. This supersedes any date given at the time of issue or renewal
  • Get the book back to the library as soon as possible.  Consider posting the book back to us if you are away on placement and not able to return in person.

If you miss the new return date, you will incur an increased overdue charge of £1 per day. More importantly, you will be inconveniencing another library user who needs access to our finite library resources.

Recalls apply to all users and all items – loans which may have been extended to cover placements and field trips can still be recalled. You must ensure that you are able to respond promptly to recall notices at all times.

Electronic Resource News


There are four new electronic resources available in the library.

Please visit our Databases page for more information on new, popular and trial electronic resources.

Express yourself about libraries and win £500

 

Welsh Libraries Art Competition

Ruth Jones urges you to ‘Express Yourself’ and win £500!

Could you write a poem, create a work of art or perform a play that would inspire people to visit their library? This is your opportunity to show off your creative skills and imagination in the first ever arts competition running in all Welsh Libraries.

The competition is supported by Welsh Libraries Champion – Ruth Jones. She has said: “Whatever you are into – writing, dancing, photography, painting, animation, drama or music – be inspired by your library and enter this exciting competition. I’m really looking forward to seeing the entries and presenting the awards next February – I’m sure the people of Wales with all their creative talents will take this opportunity to showcase them.”

The theme is simply ‘libraries’. You may wish to sum up what libraries mean to you in one art work or you may focus on one specific topic, for example books, computers, the staff, or how the library has inspired or helped you achieve your goals – the choice is yours!

There will be one Bangor University winner who will have the chance to be selected for the national final. The finalists will be invited to an awards event where they will meet actress and writer Ruth Jones and have their work displayed nationally.

For your chance to win up to £500 and meet Ruth Jones, pick up an entry pack from any of our branches or visit http://library.wales.org/express-yourself/ to find out more information. The closing date for all entries is 1st December 2009.

Refaware

The library is trialling a new research database called Refaware, until 15th November. Please feel welcome to try using RefAware and email v.zarach@bangor.ac.uk with any positive or negative feedback on accessing and using the database.

Please visit our Databases page for more information on new, popular and trial electronic resources.

Wolfson Library stock update

  • The stock from from the Wolfson Library has now arrived on site at the Deiniol Library with the exception of a small amount of Short Loan items. (these will arrive shortly).
  • Journals are now on the shelves on the top floor of the Deiniol library in alphabetical order with 'A' starting in the East wing(turn left at the top of the stairs).
  • Reference Books have been interfiled on the same floor within the centrally placed reference area.
  • Books and pamphlets have been interfiled and are available on the ground floor. Please ask at the issue desk if you require help in finding any item.
  • Theses have been re-located within our closed stack area. Please request these at the issue desk .

Preparations are being made to allow the transfer of stock to and from what was formerly the library space for those users who come into Bangor less frequently. When these arrangements have been finalised, we will publicise them within the library

Inter-Library Loans

With regret, the cost of a Document supply (interlibrary loan) token will increase to £10 per token from 1st August 2009. This unavoidable rise is due to escalating supply costs at the British Library. Withdrawal of the BL’s HE sector subsidy when coupled with inflation will effectively increase charges by 20% over the next two years.

From 1st August, a new, ‘full value’ green coloured issue of tokens will be introduced and used for payment purposes. On previous occasions, we have honoured tokens bought at cheaper (pre-increase) rates; unfortunately, given the scale of the British Library’s price rises, we can no longer sustain this position in the long term. As a result, existing 'white' ILL tokens will not be accepted as full payment for ILL material from 1st August 2009.

Cost centres holding stocks of old style tokens can exchange old for new at the rate of 5 'white' tokens to 4 'green'. Alternatively, tokens can be upgraded on a 1 to 1 basis subject to a £2 per unit upgrade fee. Please contact Gwawr Griffiths regarding exchanges or upgrades.

New tokens may be purchased from Gwawr Griffiths, (Main Library) on receipt of an official purchase order form with debit code, countersigned by an authorised signatory. Minimum order for debit code purchases will be 5 tokens (£50).

Library Survey Results 2008

Last year, we invited library users to complete a questionnaire about library services. We used LibQUAL+ survey methodology for the questionnaire as this:

* is based on the perception you, the users, have of the library service
* allows us to benchmark with other UK academic libraries

660 of you completed the survey. Although this was lower that the 2007 survey, it is still a very good response rate when compared to other, similar sized Libraries. Thank you all for making the survey a success and helping us to plan our services with what you want in mind!

We have now analysed the survey results: here’s what they told us:

* your priorities for the library service
* what we're doing well
* what we could improve

Overview of the results.
User priorities, performance rankings and problems areas by user group


Again, many thanks for your co-operation.

Refworks

Stop Press! We have a brand new referencing software called Refworks! Refworks allows you to import and manage references from any source - databases, catalogues, search engines, books etc. You can then produce perfectly formatted bibliographies or cite your references within your paper as you write. We had a really successful Refworks taster day in early November and I’m going to be scheduling more drop-in sessions over the coming months and producing a downloadable Helpsheet. To start using Refworks go to the Refworks section on our library webpages and follow the instructions on creating your account. Please get in touch if you’d like further help.

New Electronic Resources

The library has recently purchased several new electronic resources, as well as a couple of enhancements to existing databases:

British Periodicals Collection I

This is an electronic archive of hundreds of digitised journals covering more than two centuries of British history and culture. The collection is also accessible via Periodicals Archive Online where it is fully cross-searchable with other content in that database.

Guardian/Observer Archive (1791-2003)

This is part of the ProQuest Historical Newspapers suite of products.  It includes digital reproductions of every page from every available issue and offers both searchable full text and images. At present, this archive is not cross-searchable with the Guardian/Observer Archive on the Chadwyck-Healey platform which, in comparison, is a rolling archive of the last 10 years.

Nature Archive

We now have full text access to Nature from Volume 1 Issue 1. Read the full text of the first ever issue of Nature, published on 4 November 1869.

CINAHL with Full Text

This upgrade to CINAHL means that more than 600 journals indexed in CINAHL now have full text coverage. Full text content dates back to 1981 and there is no embargo.

ATLA Religion Database with ATLASerials

We have subscribed to this enhancement that combines the ATLA index to journal articles, book reviews, and collections of essays with ATLA's online collection of major religion and theology journals.

All of these databases can be accessed directly from the relevant subject listing on the library's E-Resources web page

For further information, email/phone: E-resources@bangor.ac.uk/8455

Refworks taster session

Refworks is a brand new software free to all Bangor students and staff. It can help you to organise all your references, create bibliographies in a chosen bibliographic style and cite your references correctly within your work as you type.

A list of all titles being relocated is soon to be made available for viewing on the library website. If you have any questions or require more information regarding the stock relocation please contact: Liam Barton, Email: l.barton@bangor.ac.uk , Telephone: ext. 8179

Changes to the Library and Athens logins

From 1st August 2008 Bangor University staff and students will only need to remember ONE login and password for accessing library resources.

Instead of having to remember your Barcode & PIN or the Athens ‘banxxxxxx’ you will be able to use your standard Bangor University username and password that you use to access Bangor University network and resources.

Where you previously used your Athens login you will now enter your Bangor University username and password into a Bangor login page an example of which can be viewed by copying this link into your browser:

https://geoshibb.edina.ac.uk/Shibboleth.sso/WAYF/UKFederation?providerId=https://idp.bangor.ac.uk/shibboleth

Users are advised to access databases via the ‘Resources’ button or e-resources link in the library catalogue. However, if you do go directly to the publisher or provider’s web page you will need to click on the link that takes you to a list of institutions in which Bangor should be listed. Select the Bangor link and you should be taken to the Bangor University login page, mentioned above. Look for the text ‘UK Federation’, ‘Institutional login’ or ‘Shibboleth’.

Remember access is only available to resources for which we have a current subscription. Links will be created in the library catalogue pages which will take you directly to the Bangor login page.

For further information email/phone:

iss010@bangor.ac.uk / 2972, issc06@bangor.ac.uk / 2965,

isse01@bangor.ac.uk/ 2915 or iss03b@bangor.ac.uk / 2967

Library Survey Results 2007

In April/May last year, we ran the LibQUAL+ library survey. We chose this survey tool because

  • it’s based on the perception you, the users, have of the library service
  • it allows us to benchmark with other UK academic libraries

1236 of you completed the survey, and 512 of you also made free-text comments. This is a very good response rate compared to other comparable libraries – so thank you all for making the survey a success and enabling us to plan our services with what you want in mind!

We have now analysed the survey results: here’s what they told us, and also some of the things we plan to do as a result:-

Postgraduate Module

The Library offers a Postgraduate module in ‘Information Skills’ (ZXX 4505) which is open to PhD and Masters students from any discipline. This module guides researchers through the process of defining what information they need, searching for it effectively, evaluating its usefulness, and deploying it in their research. The module will commence the week beginning 4th February. To register or request more information please email John Wright, Research Support Librarian

Library PIN

Do you know your PIN? Online renewals are possible if you know your Library card barcode number and have set up a PIN.
Don't have a PIN? Click here for instructions on setting up a PIN

Full details in using this service can be found here.
Patrons who have fines will be unable to use this service.

Free E-Resources from the National Library of Wales

The National Library of Wales has recently launched its Higher Education Learning Page.

Online registration is now available. By joining the Library online (click on ‘Register for a reader’s ticket’) you can register for a NLW Athens username and password at the same time. As you go through the registration procedure, simply tick the box next to ‘I would like to be registered for access to the Library's online resources available through Athens’. You will receive an Athens username and password by email which will give full access to the NLWs electronic resources without any charge. Bear in mind that this Athens username and password is your personal set for the NLW only. You will still require a separate Athens username and password to access a small number of Bangor’s electronic resources.

For a list of what is available from NLW using Athens have a look here, there are a lot of quality resources, some of which Bangor doesn’t currently subscribe to.

Digitisation Service

The University has signed up to the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) licence that permits the digitisation of print copies of journal articles and book chapters published in the UK (with some exceptions).

To exploit this licence, with immediate effect, the library will not normally accept photocopied articles or book chapters into the short loan collection, and offer instead a digitisation service to provide online access to short loan material under licence terms

To take advantage of this service, please complete a digitisation form. Due to the CLA's requirements, forms must be completed in full before processing can take place.

Please contact Sarah Owen if you have any further enquiries.

SCONUL Vacation Access Scheme

Are you a full-time undergraduate? Would you like to have access to another higher education library during the summer break?

Through the SCONUL vacation access scheme, Undergraduate students at UK Universities will normally be granted reference use of other UK higher education libraries free of charge during the vacations of the host institution.

Most libraries allow access on production of your Bangor University library card, although it is advisable to contact the library you intend to visit beforehand to confirm that they are open and have no additional local requirements or restrictions. Contact details of libraries in this scheme can be can be found via the list of participating institutions.

Important notes

Please remember that this is a reference scheme and does NOT provide for borrowing, nor for access to electronic sources of information.

Whilst higher education librarians will do their best to honour this scheme, temporary building work or other disruptions may cause libraries to withdraw from time to time. Admission to other libraries is always at the discretion of the Librarian or Director..

New E-resource

Geology Digimap is part of the Digimap Collection of on-line mapping and data delivery facilities, and can be accessed via the Digimap Collections login. A link is also available on the Natural Sciences Database page on the eResources section of the library website. Authentication is via Athens username and password.
