This festive edition of WTH comes to you with our best wishes for Christmas and the New Year, and also with a recommendation that you check out a web page which has recently changed for – we think - the better.
Exclusively organised
If you find our Exclusive Resources (the ones for which Westminster Libraries pay a subscription) through the Gateway, you might not have come across this page:
http://www.westminster.gov.uk/libraries/ict/exclusive.cfm
which lists them all. This is the page which has recently been revamped. The idea is that, if you want to find, say, all the business resources or the ones dealing with music or news (a particularly strong category), they are grouped together so that you can browse them. And if you are "selling" the benefits of library membership, you can steer a prospective member towards the resources which will particularly appeal to them (cunning, huh?!).
But hang on, David, I hear you cry – I’m used to find my favourites by using the A to Z list. What’s happened to that? Never fear – Santa Dave wouldn’t snatch it away from you. At the top of the categorised list, there is a link to the A to Z, and vice versa.
Watch this space
And there’s more. At least, there will be more. Early in the new year, we will be launching an all-new, comprehensive listing of all the electronic resources, with the 24/7 Exclusives alongside the In-House Resources, which can’t be accessed at home but are available in one or more Westminster libraries.
We’d like to make everything available 24/7, but for various reasons that won’t be happening in a hurry. In the meantime, we hope the existing and forthcoming web pages will help you to find the resource you need.
From everyone at WTH Towers
Merry Christmas!
