University Library at <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lincoln</st1:place></st1:City>
are about to launch a "walk-in access" service to key electronic
databases (ASSIA, IBSS, Zetoc, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, e-books, <em><i><font
face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana'>etc.</span></font></i></em>).
The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Nottingham</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> offers a
similar service already. Certain academic publishers offer free access to
databases for non-affiliated users (for example, ProQuest's UDINI - <a
href="http://udini.proquest.com/?cid=20120501_PQ_whatsnew_HP"><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>http://udini.proquest.com/?cid=20120501_PQ_whatsnew_HP</span></font></a>).
It might also be useful to provide links to key Open Access search and
discovery services (Google Scholar), free reference/bibliography management
software (Mendeley, Zotero), <em><i><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:
Verdana'>etc</span></font></i></em>.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

know there has been some talk about the SSC holding a small private library
itself. Depending on how small it remains, there are a number of free and open
source tools for managing library collections and making them searchable - the
lowest-rent of all being a LibraryThing account: <a

comprehensive resource centre, which includes other aides to learning such as
lists of or links to important films, websites and music (more on this one
later), and any other educational medium - such as the artwork of a particular
painter, say.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

list/resource centre included the name of the person suggesting them (and they
should be known SSC members), and some sort of basic guide to the relative
importance of the suggestion (according to the person recommending it). For
example, the reading list that I started compiling a couple of years ago uses a
simple star-rating system, so that one star = "interesting", two
stars = "important" and three stars = "essential". A book
isn't included on the list unless it is at the very least "interesting".</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
