We are highlighting the numerous services offered by your
UWTSD libraries by working our way through the alphabet…let’s continue our A-Z
series with the letter C…
C is for:
- Catalogue:
Our library catalogue is web-based so you can search it anywhere,
anytime...it’s also mobile compatible so you can access it on the go! Use it to
search for titles from our vast range of library stock including; books,
journals, DVDs & audio packs etc. The catalogue will tell you how many
copies we have and where to find them. Make the library catalogue your first
port of call when you receive your course/module reading lists!
- Computers:
All our UWTSD libraries have computers available for you to use. You can log on
with your university username and password to access the internet, email,
Moodle, Turnitin and various computer software packages that will help with
your assignment writing. Many of our libraries also have technicians close by
to help with any IT related problems.
- Copyright:
This is an automatic legal right of ownership which allows the creator of a
written, artistic or published work to control how it is used. Copyright
lasts for a set period of time and the
current UK law on copyright is the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 as
amended. A person may use a copyright protected work only if you
have been given permission by the copyright owner or by law. Copyright law provides some exceptions for private
study, education and public accessibility and the University also has a range
of licenses which allow copyright works to be accessed within certain
limits. For more information, please contact the Library.
- Careers:
Many of our libraries display career information and leaflets provided by the
UWTSD careers service. We also have vocational books and journals relating to
careers in the many subject areas taught within the university.
