Forthcoming Metalib and EndNote Web training

Join us at lunchtime for one of the Metalib or EndNote Web training sessions to be held during October and November.

Metalib

Metalib is the place to visit when you need to know what online resources (eBook packages, eJournals, databases, websites etc) are available to you as a member of the University. It is a good starting point for new students and staff in finding quality resources organised under subject areas. Metalib also permits you to customise your own MyMetalib area, create lists of your favourite online resources and even run searches across more than one database or eJournal site in one go.

At the end of the 1h training session you will be able to

  • Navigate around the Metalib site
  • Locate resources by type, or title and subject area
  • Search the content in multiple databases
  • View results and read full text journal articles on your desktop
  • Create your own favourite database and journal lists
  • Create automated searches and set up alerts to arrive in your email box
  • Save search results to e.g. EndNote
