Things new
We now have a colour printer/photocopier available in the library - self-service - no change to cost  5p a
side for black & white or 35p a side for colour. If your department has an account with us, and you have permission to charge to it, then we can add the cost to that. Remember you can scan and send a document as a pdf to your SCH email address from here without charge.





Things for finding evidence

We are great fans of Google up here in the library and one of our recent InfoBites session was on tips & tricks in searching better with Google BUT we never recommend it for looking for clinical queries. This 2010 article "Googling children's health: reliability of medical advice on the internet" found that the advice on 11% of sites was incorrect. If you don't have time to do a search yourself don't forget we have a Clinical Q & A service where we can search for you. More details about searching for evidence, good sites to use and a form to request a search here

Things to celebrate
Happy Chinese New Year to those celebrating today - the year of the wooden horse


Things to eat
So as a good excuse (if one was needed) to eat Chinese and you want to make your own there are a selection of recipes here  I rather fancy the pork potsticker dumplings
