Open Access is all about removing pay barriers and publisher control to make the research output of universities and other institutions available to everyone in order to maximise its impact and its usefulness to everyone. Open Science is now an international movement that opens up enormous opportunities for collaboration, transparency and innovation, and which ultimately increases the positive impact of research on society. The Library Research Outputs Team are helping run drop-in events in faculties across campus to help raise awareness of Open Access and its benefits all next week.
Things are very rarely as frightening once you start to tackle them as they seem before you get started. Join us for ten minute drop-in relaxation sessions tomorrow and every Thursday afternoon during term-time in the Library Meeting Room at 2.10pm, 2.30pm or 2.50pm. No need to book, just turn up, sit down and relax!
Christmas just came early, with these two new presents for History, Culture, Media and Creative Technology students: Bloomsbury Cultural History and Faculti. Sadly, the Christmas tree has not come early, although we are having the twinkling lights used to decorate it tested as I type!
Are you a postgraduate research student at the University? If so, you are invited to take part in an Office for Students funded wellbeing study the University is running. This study aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of postgraduate research students by increasing their mental health literacy and social support. The first phase of the study takes place this month with the launch of an online survey about mental wellbeing, knowledge of mental health problems, and sources of support.
You can enjoy the online campus learning experience at home, out and about or even overseas and still make use of the safe storage and many of the networked University resources over the internet by setting up the Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your personal computers and mobile devices. The VPN allows you to access resources as if you were on campus, and can be easily turned on and off.
