Once again we’re offering drop-in sessions for anyone struggling to find the engineering information they need. Skilled advice is at hand on how best to utilise our electronic information resources.

So,  don’t waste time pondering, come and see us for some one-to-one help.

This term our popular drop-in sessions will be held in our Library-based Engineering Team office every Tuesday and Thursday from 5th May to 18th June, 12.00-2.00pm. Either book a slot via E.N.Gineer@lboro.ac.uk or simply knock on our door (we’re in Open3, halfway down the room on the right hand side).

Move to web version of SciFinder Scholar

SciFinder Scholar is a premier resource for chemical and related scientific information, including chemical engineering, medicinal chemistry and biology. The Library is due to move from its existing client version of SciFinder Scholar to the web version. From 10th April access to the current version will be discontinued. 

Access to the new version will be by a simple registration process.  Just follow the link from the Library’s password page (log in to this page with your University username and password). Please use the Remote Working Portal for off-campus access.

SciFinder is available via MetaLib and coverage is from 1907 onwards. The new web version retains all the best features from the client version but also includes new ones such as Keep Me Posted and a related references facility.
