Two new database acquisitions which are now live are the Yale Art&Architecture ePortal, and the Bloomsbury Architecture e-Library. Over the summer we have also arranged a deal with ProQuest giving us access to 350 of their online database resources, and more news will be released about this soon at www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/library-museum-gallery/finding-resources/library-databases

I would also like to recommend and ask you to help promote our new Learn self-enrol course for all UG students, called LibSmart, which provides a series of modules to improve  students’ information literacy skills, including referencing. This new course was built by the Academic Support Librarian team over the summer and goes live on 7^th September.
