Our new series A-Z of
Libraries highlights the many varied features and services we provide for
our users, today we continue with the letter B…
B is for:

Blog
– All our UWTSD libraries have a strong social media presence (you’re probably
reading this via one of them!). Our blogs enable us to highlight important
events and services, as well as writing features on topical issues relevant to
libraries and Higher education. We encourage comments and interaction with our
readers…and even invite the occasional guest blogger to add some variety! Take
a look at our blogs here – (Swansea) http://www.uwtsdswansealibraryblog.blogspot.co.uk/ - (Carmarthen/Lampeter/London) http://uwtsdlibraryblog.blogspot.co.uk/
· Business
Information – Our Swansea Business Campus library provides all the business
information you could possibly need, from textbooks on strategic management or
how to write a business plan, to newspapers such as the Financial Times and company or industry information via online
databases such as Marketline. We even
have expert Business librarians to help you find exactly what you’re looking
for!
· Books
– Obviously! We stock essential and background texts from all your course
reading lists, as well as useful reference books such as dictionaries and
directories. We also have many e-books available via our online library.
· Borrowing
– You can borrow items from us ranging from as little as 24 hours up to 6
weeks, depending on the loan category. Undergraduates can borrow up to 15 items
at any one time (more than enough to keep you busy!) while Postgrads can borrow
up to 20 items. Think of all the money you could save borrowing instead of
buying!! ;-)
