SCIFINDER SCHOLAR

Researchers in the field of chemistry may be interested in the latest upgrade to SciFinder Scholar,


The above link provides installation instructions for Windows and Mac. SciFinder Scholar can only be downloaded, installed and used on campus (on UCD registered computers). It cannot be used on the public access machines in UCD Library. There is, however, a dedicated SciFinder Scholar standalone PC on Level 4 of the James Joyce Library which can be used while in the Library.

We hope you all enjoy the Christmas break!

National Digital Learning Repository - Workshop

The National Digital Learning Repository (NDLR) is a HEA funded pilot project between all Irish Universities, ITs etc. It is an online resource tool designed to support collaboration and sharing of teaching and learning resources within the Irish 3rd level education sector.

Richview Library is piloting the use of the NDLR to make images available in digital format. To this end, as a first step, 250 of its slides, copyrighted to the School of Architecture, have been added.

It is hoped to roll out this pilot to academic staff who will be invited to add their own images. The resulting and growing image databank will be available to all to add to, to share and use in teaching, learning and research activities.

The NDLR is managed in UCD by the Centre for Teaching & Learning (CTL). The CTL is running a workshop on the morning of Wed. 5th December (10am – 1pm), outlining its work, with a specific focus on images.

Anyone with an interest in this area is invited to attend.

Please contact Julia Barrett before Friday this week (30th) if you would like to attend. julia.barrett@ucd.ie Tel: + 353 (01) 716 2741
