It has been a long time since we posted an update on the happenings in the library, but there are things we are excited to share with library members.
- In 2017 we successfully bid for funding and were able to purchase books for the Trust’s Cancer Information Centre The resources span across fiction and non-fiction, covering topics including living with cancer, learning about health and wellness, mindfulness, as well as books for fun and distraction. The books are available for patients and staff to peruse and borrow. Remember, we also have health and wellbeing resources in the library for staff in addition to these books.
- Last Autumn we gained access to a new collection many ebooks as the Greater Manchester NHS libraries gained access to Dawson Era ebooks. The website contains many medical books aswell as management, mentoring and leadership books. The books are all accessible from https://dawsonera.com/ and you simply need to log in using OpenAthens. A full guide to using Dawson Era is available HERE
- The Browzine app continues to be popular, and we have a blog post about it planned soon but in the meantime here is a guide to downloading it to access and read our journal subscriptions on the go – it is ridiculously easy we promise!
- Lots of staff have been taking us up on our offer of training sessions on literature searching, Open Athens and reference managers recently, so we are here to help you achieve any New Years resolutions of research and study. You can browse and book our range of training on the intranet right here.
- If you have yet to set up your OpenAthens – a must have for all library users, simply click here on a Trust Computer.
- If you follow us on Twitter, you may have seen our Open Access Advent countdown of research by staff. All of them are available to view here in one handy blogpost and there are even more in the Christie Repository, the library staff work hard to keep it up to date with published research by staff.
