Students looking for past 100–300 level Chemistry tests can find them on the LEARN course “Chemistry Undergraduate”. They should find “Chemistry Undergraduate” listed amongst their enrolled courses on LEARN. There is also a link to it labelled “Past Tests (via LEARN)” on the home page of the Chemistry Subject Guide https://canterbury.libguides.com/chem

For possible interest …
Upcoming Wiley training sessions open to all students, researchers, librarians and administrators within CAUL.
You can see the outline for each session here. We encourage you to share these links with your researchers, students, faculty, librarians and those who may be interested in your institution. We are also sending you some images and banners that can help you promote the sessions internally.

“This release covers articles published in 2015–2019 and includes citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar as of June 2020.”
Due to recent changes to the GST rules, GST is now payable on low value imported goods (as you will probably already know). The flow-on effects of this have created additional work for Access and Collections staff ordering from smaller online vendors such as the Book Depository, Amazon, Alibris, ABE etc to comply with the requirements. Accordingly we are looking for alternative ways to source needed OP/OS material.
FYI that we are giving the EBSCO GOBI “BookZone” service a try. It might not be as quick as what we are used to with smaller online providers how an advantage will be we can order needed titles within the GOBI workflow. An unanswered question at this point is whether GOBI can source all of the OP/OS material we may need to purchase in a timely fashion. Thanks for your understanding as we experiment with this service, provide feedback to GOBI and assess whether the benefits sufficiently outweigh the increased workload with going direct to smaller online vendors.
From our representative at eTV:
“Could you please let teachers know that I do regular Zoom sessions on a Thursday afternoon from 15:30 to 16:00.
The link below allows teachers to register for the Zoom workshops.
https://doodle.com/poll/75ped25if9x25mvx. If I have no participants registered by 15:00 on the day, the workshop will not take place.
I cover one aspect of ETV each week. The idea is to keep these sessions short and focussed, but also allow time for participants to ask questions. I will be posting these sessions to the ‘Teaching and Learning’ Channel on Online Collections, in case you miss a session and want to go and watch it. It is a simple live recording of the Zoom session – no-frills production.
Schedule:
27 February – EVA Basic – Adding Labels, Textboxes, Tables, Images and Hyperlinks to Videos and using Hotspots and Crossroads and Bookmarks
12 March – ETV Search, Clipping, New Programme Alerts, Requesting shows, Adding videos to EVA.
19 March – ELINK Library and Workspaces
26 March – EVA Basic – Adding Labels, Textboxes, Tables, Images and Hyperlinks to Videos and using Hotspots and Crossroads and Bookmarks

As mentioned at the session yesterday with subject librarians, we now have access to Faculty Select, a new tool from EBSCO which provides a single search interface for finding open access textbooks.
We are in the experimenting phase and we continue to work with EBSCO to iron out a few things with Faculty Select.
What’s our interest in Faculty Select?
We are keen to promote the benefits of open access generally. This was a tool we heard about last year and thought it sounded interesting and worth experimenting with. Other reasons include:

However, on Friday, 6 December we will be shut from 11 am, as our team will be attending our annual Student Success get together at Riccarton House. Normal services resume again on Monday, 9 December.

The APA 7th library webpages have gone live as the default landing page for APA. There’s a link to the old APA 6th pages from that landing page.
I’ll be running at library staff session 2–3pm next Monday the 18th in the Den, looking at what’s easier (quite a bit) and what’s ‘interesting’ (a little) in the new edition of APA.
