Elevator Pitch - The Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

Another round of freshers' tours over!  We're running late induction sessions between Monday 30 September and Friday 4 October at 3.30 pm

If I was given the length of an elevator ride in which to tell you about the Whittaker Library, what would I tell you?

Three things!
  • We're a friendly, helpful library staff, and there are subject librarians to offer subject assistance in music, drama and dance.
  • The printed library guides are also available on Mahara.  If you've signed up for your Moodle account, then you'll be able to find Mahara and the Library group.
  • Course reading lists are on Moodle itself, under the modules you're studying.
Vital links:-

Bet you didn't know this - librarians more influential than we realise!

A research study into medical students' essay-writing shows that nearly half of the resources they reference in their first-year essays, are resources they were told about by their librarians in introductory sessions.

What we tell you, you remember - that's gratifying for us, and great news for you and your lecturers.  Seriously, it is!

Here's the report - it's quite short.

NUS: inductions should continue beyond 'hello'

'Whittaker' found this in the THE this week:- NUS: inductions should continue beyond 'hello' 

Oh yes, indeed! Here at the Royal Conservatoire, the Whittaker Library has been very keen to continue the induction conversation beyond the initial 'hello'. And now we find the NUS agrees with us - what wonderful news!
