Improved HYMS Library webpages

We have made some improvements to our webpages to make information easier to find.

The main changes we've made are on the new EBDM and Research tabs, and you can now find referencing information on a link on the Research tab. Take a look and see what you think; if you have any trouble finding resources or if you have any comments please contact us at library@hyms.ac.uk.

New University of Hull Reading Room open

·         The new Reading Room on the first floor of the east building is now OPEN!

This is the first new space in the redeveloped BJL to be finished.  The Reading Room contains the High Demand Collection, current journals, reference and media.  It is designed for individual silent study.

Do come and see for yourself, and get a taste of what the whole of the Library will be like when the redevelopment is complete.  We think you'll agree that it looks stunning.

For the time being, access to the Reading Room is via the south staircase at the far end of the decant area on the ground floor.  It is clearly signed.  There is lift access from the lift by the Reception.

·         There are many new photographs of the progress of the redevelopment work on the Library’s redevelopment flickr site – go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/bjlredevelopment to view these.

Library at Castle Hill Hospital closed 23rd to 27th September 2013

The Castle Hill Hospital Library will be closed to all users between 23rd and 27th September 2013. This is due to refurbishing works.

Changes to UoY Eduroam settings

From 17 September, there will be changes to the way that you connect to eduroam at York to use wifi or network access points in (for example) the Library or Fairhurst. At the moment, you can connect using just your username (e.g. abc500) but from 17 September onwards, you'll need to use your username plus @york.ac.uk (e.g. abc500@york.ac.uk).

You will need to change the settings on any devices you use to connect to eduroam e.g. laptops, tablets, phones. You can make this change now and we advise you to use the automatic setup tool which will ensure that all settings are correct. To use this tool:

Connect to eduroam (existing users) or UoYSetup (new users)

• Open a web browser
• Go to http://autoconnect.york.ac.uk
• Click on Start and follow the instructions

In a few instances, the automatic setup will not work - if this is the case, please follow the instructions in the IT Services manual setup guides:
