PARAPHRASING WITH ACADEMIC STYLE

The University Sloman Library libwww.essex.ac.uk

The Library’s now got more than 965,000 books, pamphlets, e-publications and microforms, which they chose mainly to support the teaching and research of the University, but also including some general interest stuff. You can get extra copies of books lots of people want, like set texts, from a short loan collection, right beside the main entrance. You can check where books are and if they’re out or not by using the networked PCs on each floor and all over the campus. Borrowing at the circulation desk, or by self-issue, takes only a few seconds.

There are lots of books in all subjects people study at Essex and in some areas, like Latin America, Russia and Eastern Europe, they’re some of the best in the country. What’s more, you can get access to a lot of online journals, databases, CDs and library catalogues from the Library's web page ( libwww.essex.ac.uk) on the 110 networked PCs and terminals. You can watch DVDs and videos too.

There are special collections of archives that focus on quite new stuff, e.g. the papers of the Social Democrat Party (SDP), QUALIDATA and Boundary Commission. Our special collections have recently got hold of lots of papers and publications about the work of Sigmund Freud, the historical collection of the Royal Statistical Society Library, and the Library of the Essex Society for Archaeology and History.

If you’re a new student you should join an introductory tour of the Library at the beginning of the academic year and staff on the enquiry desk are there to sort out your problems. They also give out a whole lot of printed and online guides which tell you all about the Library and its services.
