A History of St Andrew’s Day

30/11/2025 / julietkinsey / 0 Comments

A History of St Andrew’s Day

Today is St. Andrew’s Day, Scotland’s patron saint’s day! Although November 30 isn’t a national holiday, celebrations are held across Scotland with events like ceilidhs and fun runs.

The History of St. Andrew’s Day

St. Andrew was born around 5 AD in Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee. He became a fisherman, like his brother, who later became St. Peter. Initially, Andrew followed St. John the Baptist, but he later joined Jesus as one of the twelve apostles. Tradition holds that he travelled widely, preaching in places like Scythia, Thrace, the Black Sea, and along the Dnieper River, reaching as far as Kyiv and Novgorod. His legacy made him a patron saint of Ukraine, Romania, Russia, and Scotland.

A 4th-century account describes Andrew’s crucifixion on an X-shaped cross, or saltire, which he requested, feeling unworthy of a traditional cross. Patras, Greece, claims his crucifixion took place there. St. Jerome noted that Emperor Constantius II moved Andrew’s relics from Patras to Constantinople in 357 AD. Later, the relics went to Amalfi, Italy, in 1208, and his head reached Rome in the 15th century. In 1964, Pope Paul VI returned Andrew’s head to Patras as a goodwill gesture.

In Scotland, the town of St. Andrews, located in Fife, is connected to legends about Andrew. One legend says Andrew came there to build a church that attracted pilgrims from across Britain. Another tale suggests a bishop named St. Rule brought Andrew’s relics from Patras to this town.

St. Andrew as Patron Saint of Scotland

Legends also surround how Andrew became Scotland’s patron saint. A 16th-century text recounts that Oengus II, King of the Picts, vowed to make Andrew the patron saint after seeing him in a vision before a battle against the Angles. Andrew appeared in a vision, and a saltire-shaped cloud in the sky became a sign of victory for Oengus’s outnumbered forces. Following their win, the Picts chose to venerate St. Andrew.

Scotland’s Flag

Scotland’s flag, the Saltire, displays a white cross on a blue background, which may symbolize the clouds against the sky in Oengus’s vision. This design has represented Scotland for centuries. In 1385, the Parliament of Scotland declared that all Scottish and French soldiers should wear the Saltire as a sign when fighting the English. Today, Scotland continues to honour St. Andrew and remembers him every November 30.

Your subject librarians

27/11/2025 / mayagreen / 0 Comments

ubject librarianYour Subject Librarians

Here at the library, we try our best to provide students with the support they need during their studies. Alongside information Assistants who provide support at our library helpdesks, we also have a team of specialised Subject Librarians. They have specialised knowledge in the different schools and subjects at Napier, and they are prepared to give you more in-depth support. As they aren’t an immediately visible team, it can be easy for students to not realise the amount of work that the Subject Librarians do for the university. And it ranges from managing our catalogue of books, writing the LibGuides, or hosting training sessions related to library and research matters.
For that reason, we’d just like to take a moment to quickly explain who our subject librarians are. And go over some of the ways they help you study.

Who is your subject librarian?

We have five Subject Librarians here at Napier, one for each of our schools. And you can usually find them at their respective campus libraries. A list of our Subject Librarians (along with their contact details) is on the MyNapier library help page.
At our Sighthill campus library, we have Catriona Robertson as the Subject Librarian for the School of Applied Sciences (as well as the Department of Learning and Teaching), and Dawn Adams for the School of Health and Social Care.
At Merchiston, we have Joyce Templeton at the School of Computing, Engineering & Built Environment, and Sarah Jeffcot with the School of Arts and Creative Industries.
And at Craiglockhart, we have Keith Walker for the Business School, which includes our law degree courses.

What is a subject librarian?

You can contact our Subject Librarian team using the details above. Or you can arrange a 1:1 appointment. These 1-on-1 sessions are great if you have any research concerns. For example, if you’re unsure about how to use some of the more specialised and complicated databases, then you can get in touch with the Subject Librarian for your school and get the guidance you need.
The Subject Librarians can also advise you on understanding different referencing styles, a skill that is especially helpful during assessment season!

However, the 1-on-1 sessions are not the only way that the Subject Librarians support your research. The first line of support is our LibGuides, a collection of in-depth guides that walk you through different aspects of research. These guides are tailored to each of our schools and various aspects of research (such as reference management or literature reviews), so you can get the exact help you need. If you ever find yourself with a question about how to go about your research, then be sure to go have a look at the appropriate LibGuide page before contacting the Subject Librarian, because they may have already written up a guide that answers your exact question!

Subject Librarian and Reading Lists

Alongside handling your questions directly, the Subject Librarians also support your learning by working with university academics and the library’s Resource Acquisitions team to help manage the catalogue of books we have available.
Each Subject Librarian is responsible for helping oversee the library collection for their respective schools. When your lecturers put together the reading lists for your course, the Subject Librarians help manage them. And make sure the reading material is easily available to you, either physical or online via Library Search.
Before we start a new trimester, the lecturers review their reading list. And if they feel books are needed for the upcoming trimester, they will inform the Subject Librarians. Who, in turn, will see where we get access to the book. This way, the Subject Librarians are also doing a great deal of admin work to support you.

We hope that this brief overview has helped you to better understand the role of our Subject Librarians. And the roles they play to support your learning.
And we hope that those of you who feel you need extra support in your studies.

We have loads of library support posts to help with upcoming deadlines.

A.I. Library Tools: What do you think?

Library Futures: Academic staff input on Library AI Tools

We are seeking your feedback to help shape future decision-making around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in literature searching at Edinburgh Napier University. Some Library subscription databases are beginning to integrate AI tools, and this development raises important questions for learning, teaching, and research.

These AI tools offer potential advantages around saving time and improving discovery, along with disadvantages including a lack of transparency, bias, reliance on unreliable secondary summaries, and environmental impact.

We would like to consult with academic staff to learn:

Do AI-assisted searches or summaries offer advantages for your subject area or your students?
How do you evaluate the issues for your subject area or your students?

We’ll ask you to briefly trial one example Library search tool and give your feedback.

We’ll also ask your wider opinions on the value of different types of AI literature search tools in your learning, teaching and research.

This will allow the University to make informed decisions going forward.

Note: Not all tool additions and changes in Library subscription databases are optional, meaning control is limited. We will aim to map tools and provide education and awareness raising for the academic community.

Please complete the survey below.
It should take under 15 minutes, and all answers are anonymous.

Caring and Studying: How Edinburgh Napier University Supports Student Carers

Caring and Studying: How Edinburgh Napier University Supports Student Carers

Balancing caring responsibilities with university life isn’t easy — and Edinburgh Napier University (ENU) recognises that. Whether you’re a young carer, an unpaid adult carer studying part-time, or a care-experienced student who needs extra support navigating higher education. Napier has a range of dedicated services, bursaries and staff who can help you get to, and stay in, your studies. Below, we break down what’s available, how to access help, and some practical tips for student carers making the campus work for them.

What support is offered

Edinburgh Napier’s webpages for care-experienced students, student carers and estranged students explains the tailored help available before and during study, from admissions support and evidence gathering for funding applications to named advisers who can guide you through practical barriers to participation. This is where to start if you want a single point of contact and personalised advice.

The university’s Wellbeing & Inclusion services (My Napier) provide mental health and disability support that dovetails with carer-specific help — for example, reasonable adjustments, exam or assessment concessions, and onward referrals for counselling or disability inclusion support. If caring duties affect attendance, coursework or placement availability, the Student Adviser and Disability Inclusion teams can work with you and your tutors to put supportive arrangements in place.

Financial support & bursaries

Money is often the biggest worry for student carers. ENU runs a dedicated Care-Experienced Bursary (a small one-off payment currently advertised at around £1,000) and offers help from the Student Funding team when you need documentation to evidence care experience or caring responsibilities for external funding bodies. These funds don’t replace statutory carer benefits, but they can help with immediate study costs like transport, equipment or laptop repairs. Make contact with the Student Funding or Awards team early — they can advise on eligibility and help you apply.

There is also national support that student carers may be eligible for (e.g., Social Security Scotland carer payments, Young Carer Grant etc.), and Napier staff can signpost you to that advice. Check out Scotland’s Hub for Success, which supports carers to get in, stay in or return to education.

Practical adjustments and day-to-day support

Napier’s support is practical: named Student Advisers can help with attendance concerns, timetable clashes, negotiating extensions, or organising placement alternatives if your caring role prevents you from undertaking a placement at short notice. The Disability Inclusion team can arrange adjustments such as flexible deadlines, alternative assessment arrangements or assistive technology access. The accommodation and campus teams can also advise on housing or privacy needs if you’re balancing care and study from halls or a private tenancy.

The university’s careers and employability services collaborate with Wellbeing & Inclusion to support students who disclose caring responsibilities — offering help with CVs, part-time job searches, and realistic career planning that reflects your caring role and timetable.

How to access support

Reveal your circumstances early — contact the “care experienced / student carers” entry point on Napier’s site or email the Student Funding / Student Adviser teams. Early disclosure helps staff put measures in place before problems escalate.
Get documentation in order — the Student Funding team can help gather evidence of care experience or caring responsibilities needed for bursaries or partner funding.
Ask for reasonable adjustments — talk to Disability Inclusion or your course team about deadlines, extensions, or placement alternatives.
Look into national entitlements — Napier advisers can signpost to Social Security Scotland and carer organisations for statutory benefits and grants.

Tips from student carers

Keep a short, dated log of caring hours and major incidents — this often helps with funding applications or negotiating adjustments.
Build a small “emergency plan” with your course team (who to call, how to postpone assessment if an unexpected caring crisis occurs).
Use the university’s mental health and counselling services proactively — juggling caring and study is emotionally draining and getting early support helps you stay on track.

World Television Day

21/11/2025 / julietkinsey / 0 Comments

World Television Day

World Television Day 2025 is a global observance which celebrates the impact and importance of television as a medium for communication, information, entertainment and shaping our global society.

Background

The day was established by the UN in 1996 and highlights how television has acted as a tool for fostering peace and cultural diversity. Without readily available access to the internet at that time, television was the main way for most people to access news, information and educational programmes. Since then, World Television Day has served as a reminder of the power of television to inform, educate, and entertain while promoting international understanding and cooperation. It can also unite people across the world through shared moments, experiences and events, and it remains a credible source of information even in our age of 24/7 information at our fingertips. With sources accessed through portable devices, it is possible to stay informed and educated no matter where you are and to profit from all the positive benefits television can provide.

How to take part

There are many ways to emphasise the positive aspects of television as a medium so if you would like to get involved here are some suggestions:

Watch quality news, investigative and informative programmes to broaden your knowledge of important global issues and cultural diversity. The recent furore regarding the BBC and accusations of bias and misinformation shows that even well-respected and globally important providers need to be accountable and it’s not wrong to question if the information you are receiving is correct.

Watch local and independent productions which support a wider range of ideas and give a local perspective to news, education and drama content.

Improve media literacy by educating yourself about critical thinking when watching television content.

Advocate for television programs that prioritise quality, ethics, and responsible journalism.

Watch programmes which address social, environmental and political issues to use as a means of establishing discussion on issues which affect both your community and the world.

Box of Broadcasts

You may not have access to a television but would like to get involved. That’s where the Box of Broadcasts (BOB) database comes in. As a student or staff member you will have access to BOB which offers quality television, film and radio content for teaching and research. It’s a useful way to access previously requested content and to request programmes for viewing which are due to be broadcast. It’s simple to use:

Sign into Library Search
Select the Databases tab
Click on the letter B.
Scroll down to Box of Broadcasts and click on the title.
You can now use the Search function to look for programmes you would like to watch or for subjects you are interested in.
Click on Guide to see the list of upcoming programmes which you can request simply by selecting the request programme function underneath each listed programme. When the programme is ready to watch you will receive an email in your student or staff email inbox.
The My BOB section gives access to your requested programmes and allows the creation of playlists.

BOB will give you access to all sorts of programmes which will enrich your knowledge of current affairs, different cultures and issues and don’t forget it’s free to use.

You can find books and articles on television, culture, information, journalism and education using Library Search

International Students Day

17/11/2025 / julietkinsey / 0 Comments

International Students Day

As well as promoting diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism, International Students’ Day also acknowledges and commemorates the students who organised a peaceful protest at the University of Prague on 17 November 1939 against Germany’s occupation of Czechoslovakia (now known as the Czech Republic and Slovakia ). On that day, Nazi forces stormed the university; more than 1,200 student activists were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and their leaders were executed without trial. In retaliation, all Czech higher education institutions, including universities and colleges, were closed by the Nazis.

To honour the bravery, actions, and sacrifices of these student activists, International Students’ Day is observed every year on 17 November—the anniversary of the 1939 protests. These tragic events ultimately sparked widespread public outrage and further demonstrations, which would later contribute to the fall of the communist government and the rise of a democratic state in Czechoslovakia.

Today, this international observance represents and promotes academic liberation, unity and the significance of equal access to education worldwide.

Celebrating International Students…

There are approximately over six million international students enrolled in universities across the globe today. While all students can face a range of difficulties and challenges throughout their school, college and university years, international students can often be faced with a high number of challenges and hardships, including visa limitations, language barriers, financial pressures, along with currency differences, and homesickness, which coincides with feelings of loneliness as well. They will often have to leave behind family and travel and live millions of miles away from home to study at university. They may also not have the same or any access to any of the loans or funding options which are made available to home students. International Students Day raises recognition of and acknowledges these difficulties that international students can face throughout their university careers and lives, and the importance of making education affordable and equal for all. It also encourages all educational establishments and fellow students to help create a supportive and welcoming environment for all as well.

At Edinburgh Napier University, we have many support services available and teams which can help and assist you with various fundamental aspects of university life as well as any upcoming assignments and exams. Some of these teams include:

Our Finance and Student Funding Team. They can provide advice and support regarding funding access, help when filling out funding application forms, budgeting advice and assistance with how to set up payment plans or pay in full for tuition and accommodation fees.
Our International Support Team. Can assist with visa applications and any advice relating to visa types and immigration. They can also provide important documents such as work, travel and graduation letters. Our international support team also recruit international student ambassadors who can talk to new and continuing international students about their own experiences of studying in the UK and provide an insight into university life as an international student at Napier, and helpful advice and tips alongside this.
Our Wellbeing and Inclusion Team. Our wellbeing and inclusion team are trained to offer a range of support, services and even a listening ear if there are some aspects of university life you are struggling with, or facing external struggles which are affecting you at university. We offer counselling and mental wellbeing services, advice on changing courses, and free and round-the-clock access to anonymous support services such as TogetherAll. We also have our Keep on Track team, which can support you if you are feeling overwhelmed or unsettled at any point in your university career and life as a student here.
Our Library Team and Campus Libraries! Our library staff can assist you with finding relevant resources for your research and upcoming deadlines, help with some fundamental aspects of digital access and printing and support you with any referencing and literature searching queries you may have.

Nature Reviews Immunology Journal

14/11/2025 / mayagreen / 0 Comments

Nature Reviews Immunology Journal

The Nature Reviews Immunology journal is a scientific journal which covers all topics associated with immunology in great detail and depth. This includes applied features as well as fundamental mechanisms. Immunology itself is the study of how the body protects itself against infection and fights against disease, as well as what can happen when our immune system and responses work against us. Immunology itself is a very varied and diverse topic where interest and research have grown in recent years of aspects such as cells, molecules and tissues which act as hosts for protective mechanisms. This is one of our ‘Spotlight’ journals currently at Sighthill campus library as most of its content addresses current research and discoveries in immunology, which makes it an ideal journal to consult if you are a Biomedical Sciences student or researcher specialising in this specific area.

What makes Nature Reviews Immunology a ‘Spotlight’ Journal…

The Nature Reviews Immunology journal covers various subjects and areas of immunology in significant detail and spotlights any current developments and discoveries in the field that have been raised in new articles. You can find a list of the subjects covered in their Aims & Scope Nature Reviews Immunology webpages. Some of these consist of topics such as Autoimmunity, Immunotherapy, Transplantation and Vaccine Development.

Because it covers a wide scope of current trends and advances made in the field of immunology, this makes it a great resource for Biomedical students and researchers to consult to stay informed and updated about the latest developments within this area. It also highlights and draws attention to papers, events, work and individuals who have contributed to the development and progression of immunology and immunological discoveries, so most of the articles and papers within this journal will have information and updates within relevant fields, which is current and up to date.

Nature Reviews Portfolio and other Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Journals…

The Nature Reviews Immunology journal is part of a wider portfolio of Nature Reviews journals, which publishes the most current and up-to-date scientific papers and literature to keep students, academics and clinicians up to date with the most relevant and recent findings and discoveries in various scientific fields. For example, one of their most recent review articles titled Astro immunology: The effects of Spaceflight and its associated Stressors on the Immune System was published just recently on the 16^th of October this year!

Other Nature Reviews titles in this journal portfolio include Nature Reviews Clinical, Nature Reviews Cancer, Nature Reviews Disease and Nature Reviews Drug Discovery to give a few examples of relevant titles within this collection. There are also more relevant and related titles which Edinburgh University subscribes to and can provide you with access to, such as the Immunity journal, Seminars in Immunology, Current Research in Immunology and Immunotherapy Advances.

All of these titles as well as a list of the most popular and highly accredited journals, can be found in BrowZine, a desktop and mobile application which allows patrons to search for and access scholarly journals and academic papers which their library and academic institution subscribes to.

Also check out our Journal Search tab in LibrarySearch to see which other journals and e-resources you can access through Edinburgh Napier University libraries.
