A reminder to students that ALL books (including both LRC and departmental books) must be returned by no later than Friday 30^th June.

However you don’t have to wait until then, once your exam is over, don’t carry them around for longer than you need too – return them straight away.

Can you please make sure that you return ALL books to the LRC and not to the department.  This enables us to effectively clear your account on our system and ensures you don’t get any unnecessary fines and chasing letters/e-mails.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Dementia Awareness Week

Dementia Awareness Week

14 to 20 May 2017

LET'S UNITE FOR DEMENTIA

 

This year Dementia Awareness Week takes place from the 14 to 20 May 2017.  The Alzheimer's Society is asking everyone in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to unite against dementia.

 

Dementia is set to be the biggest 21st century killer.  However, awareness and understanding remains low and many families are facing it alone.

During the week, the Alzheimer's Society wants everyone to come together and take action.  By uniting everyone can raise awareness, offer help and understanding, improve care and urgently find a cure.

Come and take a look at the display in the LRC, as we raise awareness about dementia.  There are some free booklets and postcards available to take away published by the Alzheimer's Society, as well as some fiction and film tie-in books about people with dementia and books on dementia.  Further information and publications can be found on The Alzheimer's Society website.

 



LRC Survey

 

 

Each year we ask students to complete a survey about the Learning Resources Centre. 

 

Please spare a few minutes to complete this survey as your opinions and comments will help the LRC make improvements to its resources and services.

 

You can access the survey here (you will need to log into Moodle when prompted).

 

Many thanks in advance.

Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week

8 to 14 May 2017

Surviving or Thriving? 

 

 

 

 

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, which is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. The theme for the week is Surviving or Thriving? Good mental health is more than the absence of a mental health problem.  That's why during this week, mental health is being looked at from a new perspective.  Instead of asking why so many people live with mental health problems, the week will seek to uncover why too few people are thriving with good mental health.

Come and take a look at the display in the LRC depicting information from the Mental Health Foundation website, as well as some resources available in the LRC to borrow including some self help guides on dealing with anxiety, confidence and stress.  Further information, publications and resources can be found on the Mental Health Foundation website.
