World Book Day Fun
To celebrate World Book Day we are bringing you a fantastic Golden Ticket competition in conjunction with Wally of Where’s Wally fame. #WBDGoldenTicket
In the run up to World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March we will be posting two images per day of Wally somewhere in the University Library with a book. In each of the books we will conceal a Golden Ticket, which can be exchanged for a fabulous literary chocolate prize at the Welcome Desk
How to enter…
From Monday 27th February to Thursday 2nd March, we will be posting 2 separate images per day, at randomly generated times, across all three of our social media platforms.
Use your skill and knowledge to search for the book on the library catalogue, obtain the class number to locate the item on the shelves, run to the shelf (making sure you don’t trip and hurt yourself 🙂 ) and claim the Golden Ticket.
Bring the Golden Ticket to the LS Chocolate Factory (i.e. the Welcome Desk on the ground floor) and we will exchange it for your super prize.
Terms & Conditions
- Only EHU Students and Staff are eligible to win the prize.
- Learning Services staff are not eligible to win a prize (that would be cheating!)
- There are 8 prizes. The prizes are non-transferable and have no cash value.
- Golden tickets will only be accepted at the Welcome Desk in person
- The prizes are non-transferable and have no cash value.
- You can Tweet, Instagram or Facebook a photo of yourself with the Golden Ticket and book for extra brownie points. #WBDGoldenTicket

If you are a RefMe user you will have received an email about 4 weeks ago all about the up and coming changes.
If you have references in RefMe, you need to export them before 7th March 2017 and your best option is to use RefWorks.

If you haven’t used RefWorks before and would like some help, please contact Learning Services.
From 7th March 2017, RefME will become Cite This For Me and all RefME accounts will be migrated to Cite This For Me which has different functionality and may not be as suitable.
Because exporting to RefWorks will not be available after 7th March we are advising you to take action now.
