Building work

Over the next few weeks some building work will be taking place at the Campus library, including making changes to the enquiry and issue desks as well as moving the self-service machines. Due to this the self-service machines in the library foyer will be unavailable from next Monday (13th June) for a few days. The main issue desk will remain open as normal, as will the self-service machines in the Short Loan area. This work has been timetabled to take place outside semester to minimise disruption but please accept our  apologies for any inconvenience if you do use the library at this time.

Refworks 2.0 Is Coming To Keele!

Refworks have just released a new improved version of their software, version 2.0. Keele is adopting this new version at the end of 2011.

From August 2011, we plan to give you the option to “switch on” the new Refworks from your existing accounts. Users will be able to “toggle” between the old and new Refworks until the end of the year. From January 2012 the new version will be adopted "as standard".

If you're keen to have a look at the "new look" Refworks now, you can view this preview demo.

The new version retains all of the original functions of the old, with improved design and navigation options.

Scott McGowan, Liaison Librarian, will be offering training sessions throughout the year to help Refworks users get acqainted with the new design. These will be advertised in the usual way, primarily through the Library's website blog.

In addition, Refworks offer many "Webinars" to all Refworks users, covering all aspects of using the software. Places can be booked through the Refworks website.

Scott is happy to answer any queries on the move to Refworks 2.0, simply email him at: s.mcgowan@lib.keele.ac.uk
