Following several years of price rises from the British Library and after benchmarking across the sector the cost of Inter Library Loans has increased to £2 per article or book.

We have added LibraryThing to the library catalogue. LibraryThing is a web2.0 enhancement.  The main features include tag browsing, book recommendations (similar to Amazon) and the facility to link related editions and translations of the same work.  We welcome feedback on this enhancement

Don’t forget all outstanding debts must be paid by 5pm this Friday 25th June 2010 to attend graduation and have your name in the booklet.

Learning Services participates in a number of reciprocal schemes, locally and nationally, that allows Edge Hill students and staff reference access, and in some cases borrowing rights.  If you are interested, please see our information about the SCONUL access scheme and other library access schemes.  We are very keen to promote this valuable service, and you will find all the information is on our web pages.

 If you have used these access schemes in the past we would love to hear your feedback
