Digital Knowledge comes in many shapes and sizes - try Sage Journals

This week there's a reminder from one of our e-journal providers, Sage Journals, that  there's loads of information just waiting for staff and students of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.  It's accessible 24:7 through the library website, and also via Moodle and Mahara

Sage's message:-
"Did you know that thanks to your librarian, you and your colleagues have access to hundreds of highly downloaded and cited articles, all available on the award-winning SAGE Journals platform?"
Search now across SAGE Journals (you'll need to login if you're off-campus.  Choose the Conservatoire from the list of colleges and universities, then use your usual RCS login.)

If you like Sage Journals, you'll love Sage Knowledge.  We blogged about it earlier this week - why not take a look, here?

Approaches to Critical Artistry - We have Web Resources to help your Research!

24:7


Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Students! Do you have to research a topic for your Critical Artistry module?
 
The Whittaker Library has lots of web resources* online - we subscribe to specialist websites on your behalf - websites and electronic journals. Find them via the Library Mahara pages or HERE on the RCS website:- http://www.rcs.ac.uk/about_us/libraryandit/databases/ 

Most things are accessible anywhere, any time - use your RCS login if you're off-site.  The subject librarians can recommend the best web resources for you.  They can also show you how to find e-books on the library catalogue.  You can use them without coming into the library at all - 24:7.
 
*Web resources, Electronic resources, E-resources - call them what you like!  They're specialist websites that we subscribe to - they aren't freely available on the web except to subscribers.
