As part of the new "Unihub" which replaces Misis and 24-7 as a one stop shop you need to look at the new Library website http://unihub.mdx.ac.uk/study/library/index.aspx


It should be better abd simpler (although there may be teething problems)

Hi from me too

Hi
I missed the live online Induction and Welcome broadcast due to a few technical issues is there anyway I can access it now? Is there an archive of broadcasts just in case this happens again?
Apologies if this is not the right forum to ask these question.
Thanks for the help

Hi, I also missed the induction and tried to view the recorded version (though not complete and still in the process of being uploaded). I'm really happy with the quality of the recording and will be of great help to me and I guess it will be for many of us. I am really looking forward to this year. Looks like the team (academic/support/admin staff) is working really hard to make resources and help available to us (students). Many thanks to all of them.

I would have loved to attend or to be online for the session. But, unfortunately, I will miss this one too as I am teaching on Wednesday evenings and that's why a recorded version of the session as early as possible after the online one will be great!
Thanks & regards,
Mahendra

Hi, I am finding the recordings really helpful; specially that I am not getting to follow these sessions online. These clips help me to get myself organised and to get me started. I only wish that all the recordings will be uploaded after each online session.

Regards,
Mahendra

The first session has given me a good insight of what is needed for the module and about the standard. I like the references mentioned by Ian; in particular the books, websites, etc. I was wondering how soon will today's video be available for viewing? Having watched the clip on the introduction to the session, I am sure the online session tonight will be very interesting and useful again. Unfortunately, will be missing this online too! Thanks! Mahendra

Recordings of material from tonight's (19/10/11) session should be available online by end of Thursday/Friday.

We will shortly develop a survey to evaluate this service and how we can improve it.
Your feedback is appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I have just enrolled today and catching up with all of the recordings, I am very pleased with the quality and content of the videos. I think this is going to be a fantastic way to learn! (Although, this site could be clearer to navigate.)
