And more trials

We've gone trial-mad at library towers (and we're not finished yet). Our Academic Complete ebook trial is extended until the end of January. Remember ebrary from November? Scholarly e-book database? Read these online or download either chapters (40 pages maximum) as imaged PDFs (so no cutting and pasting) or as Adobe Digital Editions format documents? Of course you remember. And you also remember that you need download the free Adobe Digital Editions software before you can use this format. You also remember that and you can't read these on your Kindle, but you'll be able to read them on most other devices. We never did add them to the library catalogue, but if we do purchase any titles we'll add them to the library catalogue. I'll just confirm the link for ebrary shortly.

Until 9th February - a two week extension we also have a trial of JustCite, "an innovative legal citator", or, in other words a legal research platform brought to you by the creators of Justis. It's a a legal search engine, with built-in citation index functionality, that focuses on case law and legislation from common law jurisdictions around the world. I imagine it will be very useful to you if you're a law student.

As ever, terms and conditions apply - which means ebrary and JustCite are only available on campus.

 Edit *** The ebrary link As ever your feedback is greatly appreciated
