I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the new and returning students studying Architecture and the Built Environment at the University.

If you are a new student you probably have lots of questions right now and may be in danger of sinking under information overload during your first week. Hopefully I have seen you during the library induction sessions where the aim is to familiarise you with the facilities and services available, if you have missed the induction session then you can find all the key IT & Library information here online , and you can also pick up a copy of the print guide at Marylebone Library.

To get you started in looking for books and journals in electronic and print format use the new Library Search (note to returning students, this has replaced infoLinX & the Library Catalogue). We will be running some general drop-in sessions on how to get started with this from the 4th October for 2 weeks, this will be followed by 4 weeks of subject specific sessions so please feel free to come along and find out more. They will be held in the Library training room and there are flyers available if you ask at the Library Counter.

The main thing I would like to emphasise is please do not hesitate to contact me direct with any queries that I can assist you with, you can email here mirese@wmin.ac.uk
