There is an interesting paper published in The Reference Librarian which investigates what American College students spend their time doing when in the library. The findings include: reading print material (18.8%), perusing social media (11.4%), visiting non-educational websites (9.3%), viewing online library materials (5.9%), working collaboratively (5.6%), texting (4.1%), reading news websites (2.6%), watching YouTube videos (2.1%), shopping online (1.1%), and sleeping (0.7%). Since this is an observational study, the authors seem unable to determine whether all (or most) of these activities are related to course assignments.

Secondary double glazing has been installed inside the metal windows along the Guilford Street and Lamb's Conduit Street elevations to the main part of the library. This is part of an ongoing programme to improve temperature levels in this part of the library, following on from the problems experienced last winter. The new glazing incorporates sliding panels so that when (or if) we get a hot summer, the external windows may still be opened. The radiators will be replaced in due course, and it is planned to add similar glazing to the wooden framed windows near the photocopiers in due course.

UCL has set up a trial of the online Global Health database. It can be accessed onsite from http://ovidsp.ovid.com/autologin.html .

It includes unique records that are not covered by PubMed (approximately 40%). Please contact the library if you need any assistance with searching this database. The trial will be running until 12th June.

From 1 April 2013, new requirements come into force for research papers funded by the Research Councils, following the introduction of the  RCUK Policy on Open Access . UCL guidelines on the implementation of the RCUK policy are now available to UCL researchers. The guidelines were drawn up by UCL Library Services in conjunction with the Office of the Vice-Provost (Research) and explain how the RCUK policy will be implemented at UCL. UCL Library Services has also produced a Publishing Guide for UCL authors , which includes guidance and tools to assist RCUK-funded authors.

Multi-functional devices (MFDs) which allow UCL staff and students to print, scan (to a UCL email only) and photocopy will be rolled out at the Institute of Child Health Library this summer as part of the University wide print@ucl project. These devices are activated using the UCL ID card, and the free £12 print credit currently provided to all UCL students for their printing requirements, will now also be usable for photocopying - scanning will be free. UCL staff will have no restrictions on their printing, scanning and photocopying.   UCL students wishing to top up their balance, will either be able to do this online – as is currently the case with printing – or via a cash loader device which will be installed in the library. Replacing the Institute of Child Health Library’s photocopiers with MFDs will benefit the UCL community by providing: A single point of delivery for all print services Continuity in provision across most UCL Libraries N...
