The 12 Days of Festive Library Resources Part One<\/span><\/h1>\n

Part one<\/span><\/h2>\n

To celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of the Festive holiday break we thought we’d share some of our best resources.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of some of our best:<\/p>\n

Day One: Librarysearch<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have to start with our trusty Library Catalogue, LibrarySearch. Found at Librarysearch.napier.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a great place to start. Remember to sign in first before you start your search.<\/p>\n

You will find information on everything the library has available and information on how to access it. Read our guide on how to get started with LibrarySearch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Day Two: Box of Broadcasts<\/span><\/h2>\n

On the second day of Christmas, my library gave to me<\/p>\n

BoB (Box of Broadcasts) is an innovative shared online off-air TV and radio recording service for UK higher and further education institutions. It contains over a million items including an archive of all BBC TV and radio content dating from 2007.
\nBoB enables all staff and students in subscribing institutions to choose and record any scheduled broadcast programme from 60+ TV and radio channels. You can also edit programs into clips, create playlists, embed clips into Moodle, share items via social media and generate reference citations.<\/p>\n

Please note that our BoB licence is for educational purposes only, and only for use within the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Box of Broadcasts is a truly fantastic database.<\/p>\n

Day Three: LibKey Nomad<\/span><\/h2>\n

This amazing tool will help you get full-text access to books and articles! You can add it as a browser extension or go to their website. It’s so good it even works on Amazon! It will tell you all the possible sources for the literature you are looking for and where to get them. Check out our Libkey guide here<\/a> and watch the video below.<\/p>\n
