RCS staff and students - set up alerts for new journal articles etc

Learn to set up online alerts on Biteable.

Recent research showed that students like to find out more about online resources available to them, but - crucially - they like to learn in small, bite-sized chunks, and they particularly like animated videos.  Biteable offers a good solution - conveniently short videos, which don't take too long to customise.

So, even if you only have a few minutes while waiting for a train, or in between family commitments, you can still learn something new that might be useful for your coursework!  This one tells you about setting up email alerts to newly published journal articles on your chosen topic.  Nifty, eh?

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?
