Bramley College now has
full electronic
information resources in
the College Library to
help
you in your studies. On
CD-ROM in the library we
have about fifty
databases, including
many statistical
sources. Want to know
the average rainfall in
Tokyo or the biggest
export earner of
Vanuatu? It's easy to
find out. Whether you
are in the School of
Business or the School
of Art & Design, it's
all here for you.
You can conduct your own
CD-ROM search for no
charge, and you can
print out your results
on the library printers
using your library
photocopying card.
Alternatively, you can
download your results to
disk, again for no
charge, but bring your
own formatted floppy
disk or CD-ROM. If you
are not sure how to
conduct a search for
yourself, library staff
can do it for you, but
we charge $20 for this
service, no matter how
long or how short a time
it takes.
All library workstations
have broadband access to
the Internet, so you can
find the web-based
information you need
quickly and easily If
you are unfamiliar with
using the Internet, help
is available in several
ways. You can start with
the online tutorial
Netstart; just click on
the Netstart Icon on the
Main Menu. The tutorial
will take you through
the basic steps to using
the Internet, at any
time convenient to you.
If you prefer, ask one
of the librarians for
internet advice (best at
quiet times between
9.00am and 11.30am
weekdays) or attend one
of the introductory
group sessions that are
held in the first two
weeks of each term. Sign
your name on the list on
the Library Bulletin
Board to guarantee a
place, as they are very
popular.
A word of warning:
demand for access to
library workstations is
very high, so you are
strongly advised to book
a workstation, and we
have to limit your use
to a maximum of one hour
at any one time. Make
your booking (for which
you will receive a
receipt) at the
information Desk or at
the enquiry desks in the
Media Services Area
(Level 1). Also, use of
the computers is limited to Bramley
students only, so you
may be asked to produce
your Student
Identification Card to
make a booking, or while
using the workstations.
