Database of the week: FT.com / Financial Times

I know it’s been database of the week before but FT.com is addictive reading at the moment. You can use the site free of charge when you register via https://library.lincoln.ac.uk/ > Find > Databases > F > FT.com. Use the account within 90 days otherwise you’ll need to re-register. There’s no risk of that, of course. I read it daily. The analysis, market insights, and other features like the famed Alphaville section is superb. At South Mimms service station on Saturday, I noticed that the Weekend version cost £4.30p. To you (as a student or member of staff) it is free. That’s the best deal possible.

UOL Library Getting started: Some basic info on the library

In anticipation of the forthcoming induction / Welcome Week we have produced a useful slideshow on how to use the library using Prezi (presentation software,  if you’ve never come across it before). We hope you find it informative and like the novel way the answers appear and retreat when using the arrows.

Welcome to the Library video

Please view our Library video for Welcome Week, which starts next week. The video covers everything from borrowing books to printing, as well as new developments like online reading lists.
