4th Year Psychology Students' Poster Display

Our 4th year psychology students have again done a fabulous job with their research posters. Comments at this morning's Poster Presentation and Prizegiving in the Library were all overwhelmingly positive...this was declared 'the best presentation yet'!

First prize was awarded to Cassandra Carlopio for her Poster 'Negative Mood Regulation and Alcohol Consumption'. Cassandra is pictured here with her supervisor Dr Mike Lyvers. Well done!

The posters will be on display in the Level 3 Library Annex until the end of next week.

What happened to the suggestion box?

The old suggestion box is sadly missed by many students but unfortunately it would have been out of place in the new Library. We are working on a more 21st Century means of communicating our responses to your suggestions and you can expect it to be available shortly. In the meantime please don't hesitate to send us your suggestions online.

Two new database trials in Law, and Advertising

Justis International Law Reports cover all significant cases of public international law from 1919 to the present day, with reporting in English of decisions of international courts and arbitrators as well as judgements of national courts.


The World Advertising Research Centre features:
- Thousands of case studies that reveal the campaign strategies of leading brands.
- Articles and Best Practice guides that explain the ‘how’ and ‘why' of marketing challenges
- Market intelligence, including ad forecasts, brand profiles, conference reports and other material on top advertisers, brands and agencies.
To access this database trial please ask at the Library and Computing Service Desk for the username and password.


These two trials are available via the Trials link on the Library’s Electronic Resources webpage until the 30th October, so get in quick, and let us know your opinion via the Electronic Resources Evaluation Form.

New database - Counseling and Therapy in Video

The collection comprises over 300 hours of counselling videos searchable by subject area, therapy type, therapist and theme. Included is a useful online tutorial.

What do Bondies think of their rejuvenated Library?

Since the refurbished Library opened last week Bond students have quickly made it their own, with all the spaces on Level 2 buzzing with activity. As well as voting with their feet, many students have taken the time to put their praise in writing, which we really appreciate.

Here are some of the many positive and enthusiastic comments we have received:

• Hey guys! Great job on the new library space! Its an excellent use of the area and is a good balance between computers, books, relaxing space, group study areas and all other things needed.
  
  
• I have been here since 073 and have seen lots of changes around this Uni. I have to say this new library is one of the best, well thought out renovations around campus. I am actually motivated to do study in here! I am really enjoying the warm lighting and comforting look of this place. THANK YOU for providing lots of computers and laptop space to work in!
  
  
• Great looking facility - staff is the best asset
  
  
• This is the best library I have ever seen. Thank you to all who have made efforts for the future of Bond students
  
  
• Everything is very well set out, technologically advanced. A great environment to learn in

As we get ready for the official opening tomorrow it's great to know the Library is already back at the heart of student life!

Main Library re-opens doors to universal acclaim

After many months of anticipation (and more on the part of many Information Services staff) Bond staff and students finally got to see the inside of their newly refurbished Main Library on Tuesday morning. We celebrated the occasion with a Welcome Morning Tea (co-sponsored by Accommodation & Food & Beverage) that was enjoyed by a record number of guests who also got to appreciate the cutting edge design of the new learning spaces and technologies for the first time.

The Director of Information Services, Dr. Grace Saw gave a short speech of welcome and the Dean of HSS & P.V.C. Prof Raoul Mortley announced the winners of the “name the Library cafe competition”, who were presented with a hamper of goodies kindly donated by Accommodation & Food & Beverage. Allan Stirling and Shannon Gregor were joint winners of the competition and the new cafe, Papyrus, was a success from the minute the doors to the Library opened.

Come to the Morning Tea in the new Library next Tuesday

You might have noticed a bit of construction work happening around campus lately. Happily, we’re now at the time when we get to enjoy the benefits: we now have a brand new amphitheatre, a newly refurbished computer lab precinct, and….

A new Library!!! Well, a refurbished Main Library with lots of brand new equipment and facilities, new learning spaces and technologies, and even a café in the entrance.

All staff and students are invited to join with Information Services staff in celebrating our brand new space next Tuesday 29th September, at 11am. Tea, coffee, refreshments and tours of the new Library will be available - hope to see you Tuesday in the new Library.
