New Library Website - subject portals

We recently redesigned our library website and we think it's much better that what we had. One of the enhancements that we like is our redesigned subject portals. They're web pages, as opposed to PDFs, and for each subject they contain:

A description of DBS subscribed databases for that subject (and a link to search them)
A link to relevant journals on that subject, from our A to Z
A link to our delicious site where subject-relevant web resources are bookmarked
A link to the database search page
A link to the library guides page
A customised search engine that searches web resources relevant to the specific subject. As an example check out the Anthropology search engine on the right of this page. A few of these may still be under construction, so be patient. If you can think of any websites/web resources that should be included in these search engines, do let us know

NEW Library website!

Here we are! The new Library website was launched on Friday last and we really hope that you'll like (love!) it.
Our amazing Library and IT staff worked their best to make sure that it is the most user-friendly possible and that searching all our online resources is just easy with our new federated searching tool!

You can also book your PCs and study rooms yourself online, check our subject portals, use our online tutorials, and many, many more!

So do have a look at the new website, do use it, and please give us your feedback by email, phone or in person!

Subject Portals

Want help locating good resources in your subject area?

Located under ‘library resources/subject portals’

Library staff have compiled documents indicating reputable sources in all the subject areas covered at DBS. Subject portals let you know; the classification numbers for locating books on your subject in the library, provide links to your subject journal holdings on the A-Z and a valuable list of reputable web resources. The subject portals are a good place to get started if you are gathering information for an assignment.
