Hull Needs Your Help

The University of Hull Library need your help! They are currently looking at improving their website. If you have used the library website at Hull and thought it could be improved, well, speak now or forever hold your peace! It took us about 8 minutes to complete at: bit.ly/2iQEFd3. Go on, be part of the solution!

We know surveys aren’t that fun (according to most people we surveyed in the office this morning) so we thought we’d point out something a little more interesting too. BBC Radio 4 recently broadcast two episodes looking at the NHS; the first looks at how the NHS is responding to increased demand and decreased resources - the second, explores recruitment in the NHS and the role that overseas trained professionals play in the NHS. Both episodes are very pertinent and well worth a listen. They are available from BBC iplayer or you can download the BBC radio app, if you are so inclined.

Library Survey Now Open at York

The University of York is running its 2016 survey. It's an opportunity to provide feedback on York's Library services and resources, and to have your say on what changes you'd like to see there. The survey can be found at https://www.libqual.org/survey/RWSLJA82NUM86X8H4A

 

HYMS students are members of the University of York Library irrespective of what site you're at. So if you're at Hull, you'll still be making use of York's e-resources, and there are plenty of questions about the online provision -- you can always choose "N/A" for anything that's not relevant to you. Plus there's the chance to win a Bose speaker as an incentive to take part. 

 

While we're on the subject of feedback, if you ever have any feedback for the University of Hull Library you can always make use of their feedback form.

 

And remember, if you have any comments or questions for the HYMS Library team, do feel free to get in touch with us at library@hyms.ac.uk.
