Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing - Groover

On the library catalogue one copy of the latest edition of this book has a note attached to say it is held in the second floor office. It is on the shelves behind my desk. The book can be loaned, but please don't loan the disc unless it is to a member of staff. Leave the disc on my desk.
Many thanks

Ebrary Bookshelf Problem

Within ebrary we are experiencing a problem accessing books saved to the bookshelf when using the student PCs on-campus. Both ebrary and IT Services have been investigating the problem for some time and will continue to do so.

Until a proper solution has been found users can still acess their bookshelf titles by right-clicking on the title and selecting the option to 'Open in New Window.'

Lexis database changes

Lexis Nexis Professional is changing to Lexis Nexis Butterworths in summer 2007. The interface will change but content will remain the same. We currently have a trial to the new database. It's accessible via the Portal, username and passwords are in the usual place on the w drive. The username and password will change monthly until Athens access is set up later on this year.
