Watch this to hear more about what they do. http://www.york.ac.uk/library What do we have at York? If you want to develop your IT skills, you can find out more about training materials at: http://www.york.ac.uk/it-services/training/students/ yawn... You can also find us on social media Frame 4 Every seating preference can be found in the Fairhurst. Around the Library there are PCs which run YorSearch, the Library search tool (which you can also find at http://yorsearch.york.ac.uk). Use this to find books, CDs, DVDs, articles - watch this video for more info: Path Points Or Tilt up Need to watch a DVD for a group project? Book the viewing room with a wide-screen. If the book you need is showing up as available on YorSearch, but you can't see it on the shelves, check the re-shelving area. The Trainer Returning books is easy - just place them into the machine. Watch this short video for more guidance: CDs and DVDs If you would rather watch a video than view this map, here is a virtual tour of the Library Long Shot The study area contains flexible furniture and big screens for group use - watch the video to find out how to use them. Prezi Canvas If a book is essential for a module and lots of people need it, your lecturer may ask that we put it in Key Texts - this means it's only available for four hours at a time to ensure everyone gets a turn. You can book your 4hr slot via YorSearch. The whole area is dedicated to silent study or down http://informationdirectorate.blogspot.co.uk/ http://www.slideshare.net/UniofYorkLibrary On the 1st floor there's flexible study space for group work. You'll also find the IT Support Office, the Academic Liaison Office, and useful services like the Writing Centre, the Maths Skill Centre and the Languages Hub. Floor 1 has a huge area of Silent study space, as well as the entrance to the Borthwick Institute for Archives. Our Special Collections Department is also accessed through here. Almost all of our books are on the upper floors of the Morrell Library - Social Sciences are on Floor 1, Arts & Humanities are on Floor 2 (with the exception of Music resources, found next door in the Fairhurst Building) and Sciences on Floor 3. There's more than just books, though. The key things here are 1) check so you know when someone else has requested a book you have, and 2) if all copies of an item you want are out on loan, use the request button to ensure you get your turn! More on requesting here: More on how to copy / scan: On the ground floor of the Fairhurst you'll find the Music Library, the Audio-visual Collection, and a 55 seat PC Classroom. The rest of the building is all about study space. Staff and students can borrow 50 items at a time. We operate a Flexible Loans policy where you won't get fined unless someone else requests the book - there's more info here: From any PC, off campus or on, you can access online materials for your subject via http://subjectguides.york.ac.uk/ The 2nd floor has a huge variety of study space, Thin Client PCs, iMacs, and the Research Study and Lounge.
