World Book Day 2025

Today marks World Book Day, and as a library blog, we couldn’t resist.

Introduction: Reading, the Joys and its Benefits…

When you are a student, nearly every day feels like World Book Day – with all the reading, you are set for tutorials and assignments. All the academic textbooks you find yourself skimming through relentlessly. And all the resource searching and navigating you will inevitably do as assignments start piling up and exams are looming.

Do you remember the last time you picked up a book to read for leisurely purposes? It has probably been a while!  And you likely feel very fatigued at the thought of even looking at another piece of text.

Regardless, World Book Day comes around every year on the first Thursday of March to promote the concept of reading for leisure.  We at Napier’s library services would like to promote this international day and love of reading as a universal concept for all. As reading truly brings so many benefits.

About World Book Day…

World Book Day falls on Thursday, the 6th of March this year – the first Thursday of the month. World Book Day itself is an annual charity event which was established by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) to actively promote and encourage a love of reading within communities across the globe. It is also known as World Book and Copyright Day or International Day of the Book. This is because this international day also acknowledges the significance of publishing. As well as copyright in the literary world and the roles that they both play in providing universal access to a variety of texts, but with protections in place for the original works of authorship regarding the rights of authors to decide how others use and utilise their work.

More about the Benefits of Books (and reading them) …

A wealth of evidence suggests that reading for leisurely purposes can aid with personal development and progression as well as academic success. Fun fact: Studies have found that individuals who read for at least thirty minutes a day live longer than those who do not. Considering the significant cognitive and emotional benefits that reading can have. Ranging from bringing comfort to helping stimulate one’s imagination.  It can essentially help to improve and enhance an individual’s health and well-being. Reading books can also expand one’s horizons and often help individuals to develop a more open-minded outlook on different matters. Thus helping those who read to develop interpersonal relationships and social connections with others with more ease. And if reading happens to be a shared hobby within one’s own social connections and community, all the better, especially if all of you enjoy similar genres and texts!

Book clubs are usually a great incentive for getting into or back into reading if you haven’t picked up a book for leisure in a while. It is also a great way to meet new people in your local community. There are also many wonderful bookshops located in the city of Edinburgh including Blackwells, Golden Hare Books and Topping & Company Booksellers in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh International Book Festival is also coming up in the summer. Running from the 9th to the 24th of August this year, the Edinburgh Festival is a distinctive event that takes place in the heart of Edinburgh every year.  Many famous authors, writers and thinkers come from across the world to host a varied programme of workshops and talks to audiences that have often also come from all across the globe.

Our Wellbeing Collection…

We at the library feel that World Book Day provides us with the perfect opportunity to promote our Wellbeing Collection. Not only do we have a range of resources providing advice and guidance on managing stress and finances. But also on adjusting to university life.  We also have some fictional and autobiographical texts available, which often tell inspiring stories of strength in periods of adversity and hardship, recovery and overcoming challenges in life. Our Wellbeing Collection stands and shelves are often located near our relaxation spaces. Spaces that are equipped with comfortable seating and couches. So, if you need to take a break from the textbooks and academic texts, why not pick up a book from our wellbeing collection stands or shelves and take a seat? We have a few recommendations from this collection, which can be found below.

· The Salt Path, Winn, Raynor, author, 2019, The salt path – Edinburgh Napier University – Available at Sighthill Campus Library. ·

The Perks of being a Wallflower, Chbosky. Stephen, 2012, The perks of being a wallflower – Edinburgh Napier University – Available at Merchiston Campus Library.

· Into the Forest: How Trees can help you find Health and Happiness, Li, Qing, 1970, Into the forest: how trees can help you find health and happiness – Edinburgh Napier University – Available at All Napier Campus Libraries.

Pancakes

Pancake Day 2025

04/03/2025 / / 0 Comments

Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday

For something that has developed into a light-hearted indulgence, Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday to give it its proper name) has very sombre origins. The word “shrive” means to confess one’s sins to a priest and receive absolution, and Shrove Tuesday marks the day before the start of Lent, a Christian (Catholic) period of prayer, self-denial (fasting) and almsgiving that leads up to Easter.

History of Pancake Day

The eating of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday can be traced back to the 1430s. A bell would be rung in the local church to call the faithful to confession. This became known as the Pancake Bell and is still rung today in some communities.

Why pancakes? Well, Lent lasts for 40 days, and so making pancakes was a way of using up eggs and fat before fasting. But there’s a symbolic reason as well as a practical one. To make pancakes you need four ingredients, and these represented four points of significance for Anglo-Saxon Christians. Eggs symbolise creation, flour the staff of life, salt wholesomeness and milk purity.

Across the UK, pancake races are a fun way to celebrate this ancient tradition. The object of the race is to get to the finishing line first while carrying a frying pan with a cooked pancake and flipping it as you run. Wearing fancy dress is optional. Legend has it that the tradition started in Olney in Buckinghamshire when one faithful woman heard the shriving bell as she was making pancakes and rushed to church still clutching her frying pan. They take pancake-tossing very seriously in Olney: The Olney Pancake Race 2025 | Tickets Dates & Venues – CarniFest.com

Shrove Tuesday is a moveable feast, always falling 47 days before Easter Sunday. This means the date varies from year to year, but this year it falls on the 4th of March.

I enjoy my pancakes plain with just a squeeze of lemon juice on top, but sugar, syrup and fruit are popular garnishes too. However you enjoy yours, just remember that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, when the fun stops and the penance begins!

National Essay Day: Essay Writing Guide and Advice

National Essay Day: Essay Writing Guide and Advice

That time of the semester is creeping up once again. For many individuals within our student community, deadlines are looming. A flurry of assignments and exams will be upcoming. It will usually be the case for many of them that you will be asked to write an essay. Whether it is a small or big piece of written work, it can feel very overwhelming to even know where to start. So, we can imagine that a day like National Essay Day, which takes place on the 28th of February, is a day which you do not particularly feel like celebrating. Especially if you have written, been writing have been set to write a lot of them. Not to worry though!  If you are a student at Edinburgh Napier University, we have a wide variety of resources and services which are there to support you with upcoming assignments and exams as well as essay research, writing and structuring.

But first, a bit of history…

National Essay Day is promoted as an annual awareness campaign by One Freelance LTD. And celebrated on the birth date of Michel de Montaigne who authored the first ever written texts that were declared as ‘essays.’ Having been an influential philosopher during the French Renaissance, Montaigne managed to turn essays into a mainstream literature genre and way of communicating one’s own thoughts on a specific subject matter.

National Essay Day ultimately promotes the significance of timely writing assistance. As well as the challenges and complexities students can face when writing an academic paper or extended answer to a specific issue or topic of debate. As Napier’s library services, we pride ourselves in supporting our students with reaching their academic potential and goals. So would like to take the opportunity to promote the help and support we can offer regarding essay writing, essay research and essay structuring skills.

Essay Research

One of the first things that you may wonder when commencing your essay research is where to start looking. The good (and sometimes bad) news is there is not one single correct answer to this question. For most subject areas an essay, question could be covering. There are often many databases and webpages where one could find the relevant information and references they are seeking. While this usually gives you a wide variety of options to consult, you may become extremely overwhelmed with the number of search results. It can be a timely process skimming through article after article or book after book trying to find the best resources with the most relevant and up-to-date information.

This is where our subject librarians usually come in. They can offer subject-based guidance and advice, support with your research, and have put together some very detailed subject guides which can be found in our LibGuide. These guides can assist you with conducting effective literature searches and also include links to useful databases and online resources. They can help you to find the most current and relevant books, journal articles and other materials for your essay research. Our subject librarians offer one-to-one research support where they can provide further support with finding the resources you need. As well as online and in-person training sessions which you can find in our Library Calendar.

 

Essay Structuring and Writing…

 

The standard paradigm for an essay that students and researchers tend to use consists of the following:

  1. The Title and Question.
  2. An Introduction.
  3. Main Body of Paragraphs.
  4. Conclusion
  5. Reference List.

 

All in this order. The introduction is often a concise summary of the topic or issue you are addressing, an analysis of the essay question at hand and the questions and debates surrounding the question which you will be addressing. The main body of the essay will often consist of the key points of your argument. Then the evidence to back it up, the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence at hand alongside counterevidence and arguments challenging it, then an overall summary of whether the key points addressed reflect a strong (or weak) answer or argument in relation to the essay question at hand. There will also likely be some relevant references thrown into each main body paragraph as well.

 

Then there’s writing the essay, which is often the most daunting part. It can sometimes make the task at hand seem less overwhelming if you start writing some of it in plenty of time before the deadline. And break it down into small, manageable steps – for example, if you set yourself the objective of starting the introduction one morning and aiming to finish it by the end of the day. While this may not always be a guarantee, it can help to get the cogs turning. And you might find yourself writing more than you intended to in the first place. Maybe an extra paragraph or two should you really get into the swing of it. Sometimes, however, we do get completely stumped – which is where our academic skills team can be of great assistance. If you feel that you would benefit from a one-to-one drop-in session or appointment with one of our academic skills advisors, you can find more information on our My Napier webpage, or email academicskills@napier.ac.uk. Recorded tutorials are also available on Panopto which include workshops on how to write your introduction, main body paragraphs and conclusion as well as paraphrasing and grammar tips.

 

Recommendations…

 

All our campus libraries have an extensive range of resources, particularly within our Research Collection. This can help you to enhance your essay writing, structuring and research skills. It is definitely worth checking out, along with a couple of recommendations from us below.

Social Sciences Library Resources

17/02/2025 / / 0 Comments

Social Sciences Library Resources

Our university libraries provide many academic resources to help you through your studies. The most prominent of these will of course be the books.  Whether it be physically in the libraries or e-books available through library search. Alongside these, we also provide you with access to hundreds of online academic databases and journal collections. Through these, you can study academic articles and essays stretching back decades and covering a wide range of subject areas. Today, we will briefly introduce you to some of the resources available for studying Social Sciences.

Social Sciences Resources

Social Sciences at Napier falls under our School of Applied Sciences. As such the primary collection of Social Sciences books can be found in LRC 3 of the library in our Sighthill Campus,. But there are smaller collections found in the libraries of our Craiglockhart and Merchiston campuses. This collection is overseen by Catriona Robertson, the Subject Librarian for the School of Applied Sciences. And Cat is happy to provide you with any study support or advice when you’re carrying out social science research.

Through our library libguides portal, you can locate over thirty academic social science databases. These consist of access to academic journals and articles. Once you access any of these databases, you can login using your Napier student account via the Institutional Login option. Included in these databases is JSTOR, one of the internet’s most popular academic databases.  You can access thousands of journal articles, research reports, and even full e-books. JSTOR is not a specialised service, providing countless articles across all topics. So it can be a great way to begin research into whichever topic it is that you’re studying.

Similar to JSTOR is ProQuest, which has the added benefit of being able to search via specialised collections of subject matter. ProQuest includes its own premium Social Sciences collection.  This goes for an in-depth search into more specialised and niche topics in Social Sciences. The ProQuest Social Sciences Collection consists of a range of specialised collections such as the Criminology collection, Politics collection, and Sociology collection. But there is much more. This ensures that any searches you make will return results from relevant academic journals and e-books, instead of having to wade through irrelevant results that only lightly touch on the subject you are interested in.

An example of one of the more specialised resources we have available is Digimap, an online collection of digital maps. These include historical ordnance maps, demographic maps, or geological maps, with the format of the maps including traditional maps as well as aerial photography or 3d renderings. This could be a great resource for historical or sociological research, such as looking at how demographics have shifted over time or using older ordnance maps to track changes in city layouts. This can be useful for in-depth and niche study into specialised areas of social sciences. These are just a brief look into only a few of the social sciences resources available through the university library. Remember that if you’re interested in checking out more you can always have a read through what’s available on the university LibGuides page or contact Cat, the subject librarian for the School of Applied Sciences.

Our databases cover a wide range of subjects, read our previous posts.

Music and Edinburgh Napier

Napier University has a rich musical heritage. The university has also helped to nurture a wide array of major Scottish talent.

The Music department is noted for its range of approaches to the study of Music. Professor Zach Moir a jazz musician and improvisor, researched cochlear implants for his PhD.

And has written an acclaimed study of the history of Digital Sampling.  On top of this, the university also has a strong Jazz tradition.  Holds the Scottish Jazz Archive in its collections.

Music Alum at Edinburgh Napier

As with its teachers, so it is with its students. Some have also branched out into music promotion. Putting on their own concerts. And making an impact in the Scottish music scene. Here is a small selection of Napier alumni. Annie Booth is a Scottish indie rock singer-songwriter and Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) awards nominee. Making waves in the early aughts, Conquering Animal Sound (Jamie Scott and Anneke Kampman) produced complex electronic pop. She earned a SAY awards nomination for their second album On Floating Bodies, released on the legendary Scottish indie label Chemikal Underground. ½ of CAS, Jamie Scott has branched into alternative rap (e.g CARBS, with Johnnie Common), and is a core part of the SAVE AS collective. Another SAY award nominee and Napier graduate is Becky Sikasa, a singer-songwriter who produces sharp, intelligent contemporary pop music. More recently, Napier alumnus Josh Mannie – under his moniker Barry Can’t Swim – has been nominated for both the BRIT awards and Mercury Music Prize in 2024. His ebullient dance pop has earned plaudits far and wide.

Euan Lyons, drums in the DIY punk/metal band Dead Pony, whilst another Napier graduate – cellist Graham Coe – is a core member of Edinburgh’s Tinderbox

Orchestra, known for their wide range of performed material across generic boundaries (and also within libraries). They also regularly work in a community music context, committed to increasing access to music regardless of material barriers – one of their initiatives is facilitating instrument lending in our local library system.

Last, but certainly not least, is Anna Meredith. An electronic music artist as well as film music composer, Anna was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2020 for her album Fibs. In recognition of her achievements in music, she was granted an honorary doctorate from Napier in 2022.

Charles Dickens’ Birthday

07/02/2025 / / 0 Comments

Charles Dickens’ Birthday

Happy birthday, Charles John Huffam Dickens – born this day 212 years ago and still going strong!

Not many authors get their names turned into adjectives, but our Charles did. If I were to describe circumstances as “Dickensian”, you’d know exactly what I mean. It’s thanks to this forensic analysis of the seedier aspects of London life that he’s generally considered to be the greatest Victorian novelist.

Childhood

He didn’t have the best start in life, young Charles. His father had a decent job but was so financially reckless that he ended up in debtors’ prison, and his 12-year-old son was withdrawn from school and sent to work in a factory. It was all grist to the mill, though, for Dickens. This harsh start provided a rich source of material for him to draw on when he wrote his sprawling, serialized novels and created his many memorable characters – so much larger than life that they live on in our cultural imaginations more than two centuries on.

Characters

Who has not known an Ebenezer Scrooge? (I’ve known a few). How many of us have skelped an artful dodger around the lugs? (I’m not admitting to that one.) Who has not cheered on Philip (Pip) Pirrip as he rises up to become a gentleman and then remonstrated with him when he treats brother-in-law Joe so abominably? Who has not cried with Bob Cratchit as he strives to keep his young son alive?

You’ll have your favourite characters. Some are sweet and innocent, some are cruel and heartless; still, others are preposterous buffoons. My favourite is Betsey Trotwood, David Copperfield’s eccentric aunt. She’s stern and stubborn, to begin with but comes good in the end. If you’re looking for character transformation, look no further than BT.

Charles Dickens on LibrarySearch

We’ve got all Dickens’ books. If you haven’t read any, why not start today.  Log into the library catalogue LibrarySearch to see which are available:

In order of publication:
