• Filming in the University Library

    We are aware that at this busy time of year for projects, students may want to use the University Library for filming purposes.  If you think from your story boarding you want to come in and film, please note we have the following guidelines in place for you to follow.

    University Library

    You must seek permission, in advance, from either;

    Please outline briefly, in your e-mail whereabouts in the University Library or LINC you would like to use, how long you will be filming for, and if you will be using props or wish to move furniture.

    We are sorry but we can’t allow you to film on the 2nd Floor Silent Area due to the proximity of the book stock and need for silent study.

    Please remember the Library is a place of study.

  • Discover More!

    Have you ever wondered where to start looking for information resources for your assignments, dissertation or personal research? We are piloting two new discovery tools which will make this so much easier. They both offer a single box to search our databases, e-books, full-text journals and the library catalogue.

    The “tools” are called Ebsco Discovery Service and Summon. We would like you to use and evaluate both these products. We would like your feedback so that we can make an informed decision as to whether we will go ahead and purchase one of them in the future. We do think a discovery tool will increase the find-ability and use of our resources but we need you (the users) to tell us.

    Find out more and access these resources from Discover More at http://library.edgehill.ac.uk/screens/discovermore.html 

    If you have any questions, please contact Maureen Richardson ([email protected])
