Our online SCH Repository continues to grow and now includes most publications from SCH staff from 2018 onwards (over 450). In our library catalogue you can see the details of all of these by searching for “sch repository”. They are identifiable by the image on the right. If you have signed up to receive a monthly email with new items added to the library (when you joined the library) then you will be notified of any of these articles which match your subject interests.
The catalogue records link to the PubMed abstract – if you then require the full text of an article and cannot obtain it elsewhere we can supply this in the normal way via our request form (charges apply).
We only list co-authors who have given SCH as their institutional affiliation, if they have stated their department we can report on this for SCH departments but many have only given the trust name.
We hope this will not only showcase the research being published by SCH colleagues but also share awareness of what is being done in different specialities across the trust.
If any of your SCH affiliated publications are missing or are in error please email the library for them to be checked (post 2018 only).
Things to donate and record... 
Museums Sheffield have been thinking about what objects represent our lives at the moment, and what should be collected to tell the story of what we’re currently going through to future generations. COVID-19 has seen our day-to-day life change massively – we all have a lot in common right now, but they are also mindful that people people’s personal circumstances mean that a lot of us are having very different experiences.
They want to do their best to represent this unprecedented moment in our lives, but need your help. What do you think should be kept as a memory of Sheffield and its people at this time? In particular, if you have a suggestion of something you’d be happy to donate to the city’s collections that represents your experience during lockdown they would love to hear from you.
Sheffield Libraries and Archives are also running a fantastic project to document the experiences of people in Sheffield during lockdown - you can find out more about that and how you can get involved here
Things to make your life easier... 
We often advertise that we can provide one-to-one training in Mendely - reference managing software. Perhpas you have seen this and not realised what a benefit this could be to you, your colleagues or even useful information to pass on to your student family members. Mendeley (and other similar software) does two things. It allows you to keep an record of all the references you have acquired for a topic in a very easy to use way. You can organise these in folders or with subject tags or keep them in a jumbled heap (not recommended) depending on your preference (guess what "us librarians" prefer!). You can make notes on an article and if the pdf is available to you highlight sections which you want to refer to in your writing.
The other side of the software is where the magic happens and as you are writing your Word document you can automatically insert your references where needed and create your bibliography at the click of a button. You can change the citation style just by selecting from a drop-down list and if you need to move batches of text around in your document the references will automatically re-number themselves. It is a real time-saver and will help you organise your work if you are doing any writing for publication or education. If you wish to book an individual or small group session please use our Book a Librarian service.
Things to return... 
Although we have extended everyone's libnrary book due dates until Sept, if you have books that you are ready to return please do so either by handing in at the library counter or placing in the returns box outside the library. This is particularly important if you are moving on to another trust in August. All returned books are now quarantined for 72 hours before being available for loan to another reader so you may see this indicated on the library catalogue.
Things to eat... 
I made this Chorizo, orzo & sweetcorn summer stew yesterday - very simple and tasty
