//Finding Information for Business 12-13
This updated Business guide includes all the major resources at The University of Lincoln, referring in particular to the new Library website found at http://library.lincoln.ac.uk. We are currently upgrading all our help guides for the Business School to incorporate the changes listed in an earlier blog post called ‘What’s new in the Library‘.
//This is a short PowerPoint presentation about the summer developments in the Library, including the new Learning Development room, a new Library search engine, extra study spaces and speedier PCs, et al.

//Welcome to the University of Lincoln if you’re new, and welcome back if you’re returning to Lincoln to continue your studies! This informative presentation outlines what the Library offers, plus some new things for the returners…Martin and I are appearing at various times throughout Welcome Week to deliver inductions based on this PowerPoint presentation. We will be running workshops soon, and look forward to meeting you either in your groups or individually.
//Announcing the return of the Coffee Lounge!
When: Tuesday 18th September
Where: The Library ground floor
What time: Between 10am – 2pm
You feel like some free coffee and cake?
Fancy a chat about the services the Library has to offer?
Or just want to sit down with a nice hot drink and relax after rushing around the Freshers’ Fayre?
The Library Coffee Lounge is a chance for you to find out about the services the Library provides in a more relaxed and informal setting.
It is an opportunity for you to get to know the Academic Subject Librarians and the Customer Service team.
But it’s also a chance for us to welcome you to the Library and to the University for a new academic year.
We hope to see you there!

//By way of explanation, I’ve produced a step-by-step guide on how to find resources, such as business databases, on the new Library website. It’s a slightly different approach than last academic year, but it is easy to use and should enhance your research.
Simply go to the website address at:
On the right hand side of the screen you will see ‘Find it at Lincoln’
Within this box you can either search for research material such as journal articles and books, or just search the library catalogue (just tick the box underneath the search box). If you want to search specific resources then select ‘more resources’ below the search box. On the left hand side of the screen you will see ‘Resources’:
From the Resources section you will be able to search for a journal title (via the electronic journals a-z) or investigate databases, such as FAME or Mintel, by following the relevant links.
