Library Review
Welcome to the library review - a collection of articles about the work and service developments in the Library in support of teaching and research at the University. We aim to change them regularly, so please come back and look again. Click on the links below for current articles.
New online subject guides - start your research here
We aim to give students a starting point to their research where all the information they need is drawn together.
The guides also form a point of contact with the Learning and Teaching Support team, as we have an instant chat box on the front page, via Meebo, for answering Library queries.
InfoPlus: A resource for researchers across the University
The University Library has launched infoPlus, an online tool for postgraduates, doctoral students and researchers across the University. This innovative new resource supports the development of research skills and techniques through a combination of tutorials and e-learning videos.
CALM Archival Management System
In January 2010 the Library's new archival catalogue system became publicly available.
Over the preceding months, the original web based and hardcopy catalogues for all archives held in Special Collections were transferred on to the CALM Archival Management System which in turn has been made available to staff and students at Sussex as well as the wider public here.
UK Research Reserve: a collaborative national collection of print journals
The Library is a member of the UK Research Reserve (UKRR), a collaborative, co-ordinated and sustainable approach to securing the long term retention, storage and access to low-use print journals. The British Library will protect important printed research materials by storing journals no longer required by libraries, retaining them in perpetuity and making them accessible to researchers and others who wish to consult them. Researchers will be able to receive 24-hour electronic delivery of research material not held in their library via the British Library.
