Result of the trial for Pier Professional Journals
At the end of last year we had a trial of the complete collection of Journals from Pier Professional. Pier Professional publishes journals in healthcare, social care and allied fields. There are 23 journals in the collection. Feedback was positive and a decision was made to take out a subscription for the whole collection. New titles include Journal of Children’s Services, Mental Health and Social Inclusion, Journal of Integrated Care and Journal of Assistive Technologies. Online access back to the first issue is available. The entire collection can be searched as a full text database or each journal can be browsed separately. All titles have been added to the library catalogue and the collection can be accessed here. At the end of 2011 we will review our usage statistics and make a decision whether to renew in 2012.

Students, time is running out! Have your say with the EHU students e-learning survey…
We’re now in the last week of our third annual EHU students e-Learning Survey and would like to encourage any student who hasn’t already completed it to do so before it’s too late! 692 students have already responded (thank you!) and last year we had a total of 775 respondents so we would love it if we were able to come close to matching that this year. The more responses we have, the more powerful the survey will be when thinking about developments for Edge Hill’s VLE, and with the new version of Blackboard coming soon, these developments are important for all students.Looking at the results so far, we can see how important Blackboard still is for students. We can also see that many of you have ideas about how certain tools, for example facebook (or other social networking sites) and text messages could be used to support your learning. The last 12 months has seen a huge change in the market for Smartphones and other devices (such as iPads) and the survey is giving us lots of information on how you would like to use them in your learning. It’s ideas like this that can help us to really improve your student experience so if you are an EHU student please complete our survey if you’ve not already done so…time is running out! To thank you for sparing the time to help us we are offering a prize draw of one £50 and two £25 Amazon vouchers for three lucky winners (the draw will take place after the survey has closed).
The survey is open until Friday 28th January and can be accessed from Blackboard, from email or from the link here.
Thank you!
