The University of Sheffield Library welcomes all new Dental Students

Welcome to all new Dental Students. My name is Vicky Grant and I am the Faculty Librarian for all the departments in the Faculty of Medicine. It is my role to ensure that the University Library is providing all the information resources to support your studies and also to ensure that you are taught the skills of information literacy as part of the Dental School curriculum. Initially you will receive a lecture about the Library service and further into the course you will attend information skills workshops to support your assignments. If you need help with any aspect of the Library service then please do ask either at one of the Library Enquiry Desks or by email (library@sheffield.ac.uk ) or you can contact me directly at v.grant@sheffield.ac.uk.

Welcome to Sheffield. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Goodbye Athens: Hello seamless access to eResources

My name is Rachel Mason, I’m part of the Library’s eServices Technologies Team -we work closely with CiCS to ensure that you can access Library eResources
through MUSE, wherever you are in the world, 24/7. Over the last year, in line
with national changes, we’ve been working hard to set up Federated Access
Management (FAM) at the University. From 1 August 2008, this improved service
will be integrated into MUSE and will replace the old Athens system, and the
old Athens protection will be removed from all Library eResources.

So no more Athens, and no need to click on Athens links in order to access
Library eResources! FAM will work in the background to make your eResource
access even more simple - in other words, MUSE will do the hard work, so you
don’t have to! To access eResources from 1 August 2008, simply login to MUSE
with your institutional username & password and connect via the eResources
links on the Library tab in MUSE. (Or access via the eResources A to Z links on
the Library Web pages - you’ll be prompted to login to MUSE as necessary.)

You can find more information about this at:
http://www.shef.ac.uk/library/libnews/accessman.html. Happy studying - and
remember, from 1 August 2008, at Sheffield, Athens will be a thing of the
past!

Welcome to the Librarians’ blog for Dentistry

My name is Vicky Grant and I am the Faculty Librarian for all the departments in the Medical Faculty. I am working with colleagues and students to develop this blog which I hope will keep you informed about developments in the Library service and give you the opportunity to communicate your comments and questions.

The blog also includes links to the best of library resources for Dentistry (see the column to the right of the page).

Please post your comments or suggestions directly on to the blog or, if you prefer, you can email me directly, v.grant@sheffield.ac.uk

Bye for now,
Vic
