Don't forget: the European Computer Driving Licence...

...better known as the ECDL, is available to all psychology students through the library. It is a widely recognised basic computing qualification which looks great on CVs when applying for jobs! Even if you are already pretty good with computers, it's important to be able to demonstrate your proficiency and that's exactly what possessing an ECDL certificate can help do. More information, including details on how to sign up, are available on the ECDL web page.

Improvements to Ask-a-Librarian...

...are now live. The first is an extension to the hours for the live webchat service. It is now available from 1-7pm on weekdays and 1-5pm at weekends. Outside these hours you can leave a message and a librarian will get back to you within 48 hours.

The second improvement is that we have added a facility to search our library knowledge base. Simply enter a search term, e.g 'athens', and you will see answers given to previous similar questions.
