Media kit – new home, new equipment, new access times.
As many of you will have already noticed the media kit has moved from the LINC to the Library. We also have a raft of extra improvements and changes following customer feedback, these include:
* Loanable trollies which can be taken on location with you.
* Longer loans available through a renewal option.
* New JVC SDHD cameras
* Greater access to the kit with the Library desk being open for 26 hours longer than the LINC. Monday – Friday 8.00am – 9pm, Saturday & Sunday 11am – 6pm.
* A larger supply of batteries purchased to reduce the amount of time equipment is unavailable.To further increase equipment availability, please return all kit as you would like to receive it e.g. boom mics with covers on etc.
If you are unsure about what you are entitled to borrow just ask at the Welcome desk in the Library or alternatively please check the media subject pages. If you wish to book any media equipment in advance of your shoot, please use our media booking form.

Learning how to share
Staff Development: eShare: Making the most of your Digital Repository
What is eShare? Why do we have it? How can it benefit me? Come along for an introduction to our digital repository for teaching and learning and see how you can make the most of eShare.
eShare offers you the opportunity to showcase your work to the world, store presentations, video clips and images in an easily accessible way and find ready-made, adaptable materials for your teaching.
In this hands-on session you will:
- Create a profile – your profile can then be used for departmental webpages, EHRA and CV creation.
- Learn how to search the repository for teaching resources, guides to technologies and learning resources.
- Upload your own items – copyright and creative commons will be explained and demystified.
Book on to this session online via the Staff Development Booking system.
Michelle O’Connell

Dyslexia Awareness Week
Dyslexia Awareness Week 14th-20th October 2013
The theme this year was ‘Beyond Words’. Its purpose was to address the misconception that dyslexia only affects reading, writing and spelling, but also, can impact on maths, memory, organisation, time management, as well as language and listening skills. In addition, there was a strong focus regarding the creative strengths of dyslexia.
During this week, the Specific Learning Disabilities (SpLD) team had a stand in the HUB and ran a competition to identify Famous Dyslexics. It was an opportunity for the team members to be ‘out and about’ chatting to a variety of people and giving information about dyslexia and the support available at the university.
If you would like any further information, the SpLD team can be contacted in the following ways:
Call to the ASK desk on the first floor of the library
