Library & Learning Services

• 

Elesevier are delivering a special Scopus training session on Thursday 21 November, hosted by Library and Learning Services in the Catalyst.

The workshop will be delivered by Michaela Kurschildgen, Consultant and Customer Success Specialist at Elsevier and covers the following:

Part one:
– hands-on training covering searching, filters, search results data visualtions, etc
Part two:
– research metrics and indicators

Want to join us?
Date and time: 10-1230 on Thursday 21 November.
We only have 10 places left. Please email [email protected] if you would like to attend the workshop.

Why run this training?
Following a successful trial over the Summer we now have Scopus, which replaces the Web of Science service. Scopus features 23,500 serial titles and 75 million items, so being able to utilise its features to search and record items is paramount for getting the most out of the database.

Is any other Scopus training available?
Research students and staff can book onto our ‘Literature Search for Research’ workshop on 7 November, which is part of the Researcher Development Programme. The session focuses on searching using Scopus. Book via MyView.

During Welcome Week (15^th – 22^nd September) we have two exciting opportunities for you to win a prize by engaging with us on social media!

1)Take a #Shelfie with a group of friends

Come into Catalyst and get a #Shelfie with a group of your friends among our book shelves! We will be offering a prize for the most fun and creative picture, so grab some mates and your phone to be in with a chance of winning a £10 Amazon Voucher.

Once you’ve taken your picture upload it to Twitter with the hashtag #Shelfie and tag @EHULearnService – we will pick our favourite to be our winner on Monday 23^rd September!

This will be a great way for you to get to know your new course mates or flatmates. Why not check out our facilities whilst you are here – you could join a Catalyst tour or explore the building by yourselves.

2) Become a #BookFace

You might prefer to engage your creative side and produce a #BookFace. We have lots of examples of these, produced by our brilliant helpdesk team, on our Instagram page @ehulibrary if you would like some inspiration! This is another chance for you to win a £10 Amazon Voucher!

Take a picture of yourself intertwined with a book cover. Upload this to Twitter with the #BookFace and tag @EHULearnService – we will be picking our winner on Monday 23^rd September!
