Notes de l'éditeur
- AWF 2013: A headline event in London including 2 panel discussions, careers and master class sessions with academics 28 satellite events abroad 850 guests attended the forum in general including alumni, students and externals
- These are industry, or topic specific groups led by alumni that also welcome students and externals. Two current proactive groups: CEN & TANC
- Thank you Nikki. I am now going to talk about library services for Cass and City Alumni.
- Current library services and access – I know many of you are interested in access, so I will be going into some details on how we enable walk in and online access
- Alumni are given cards to access the buildings, which includes the library. Guest wifi access provided in library but alumni must have own devices.
- Alumni must phone or drop by and book specific computers in our Financial Resources Zone for the alumni databases Alumni must show their alumni card to activate their reservation and be logged in to the computers by library staff. Although we have walk in access to Bloomberg and Eikon (Thomson Reuters), we have to police the alumni usage as much as we can. Alumni can use them for personal use and we encourage alumni to obtain the product certifications so they can add them to their resume. However, they cannot use them for any commercial use. If we are unsure about the use, I contact the supplier. With JSTOR, we had to provice the ip address of the computer where access is provided. Staff logon to the computer and then alumni click on the Jstor icon. We are currently setting up walk in access for Marketline and exploring on line access.
- Login to service – the databases are available behind the login Terms and conditions Databases
- Both products pulled off the market in the last 6 months Many of the alumni products are business orientated, city alumni would like us to identify other databases appropriate for their alumni. Jacqui is working with subject librarians to identify the most sought after databases and then Tamsin will explore with the suppliers which databases are available.
- We had our first meeting last month, where we shared information and came up with a list of action items of things to explore before our next meeting. We need to ensure the databases information is complete and we need to look at adding some information to our library website to highlight to current students what is available after they leave. I have recently met with corporate development and I will pass on a wish list for alumni databases!
- Continued access to Cass Careers Online (CCO) our online career management system from Simplicity
- There are many ways you can get help with your studies.
