ULCC will be moving our Moodle site to a newer host which will improve reliability and performance. This work will take place during the Afternoon of Wednesday 18th August and it is  estimated it will take around an hour, and therefore Moodle will be unavailable during the afternoon. It should be up and running by 5pm.

Library cuts OneSearch at the end of August 2010

We are sorry to report that from 31st August 2010 we will be terminating our subscription to OneSearch, the federated search engine that enables users to search all of the Library's resources simultaneously and link to the full-text articles. Although this is a popular resource, it is a very expensive one and due to the fact that the library has to make a cut in spending of 15% over three years, this is one of the sacrifices that we are having to make.

However we have been able to go some way towards alleviating this loss by introducing a brand new application called ‘CustomLinks’ available on all of our databases on EBSCO. This enables full-text access to 90% of our journals from your searches on EBSCO and will be fully operational in early September.

Don’t forget you can still search all of our EBSCO databases simultaneously - http://search.ebscohost.com/athens.asp the key difference being that you now have to search our catalogue – Tapcat separately - http://tavi.koha-ptfs.eu/

The library staff will be rolling existing students on MOODLE onto their correct course pages for 2010-2011, in August, so can you make sure that you download any Course Documents and Forum Postings that you wish to keep by August 10th.  We will start resetting the courses after that date. This work should be complete by the end of August? if you have any queries regarding this, please contact your course administrator or the library - library@tavi-port.org
