Library News -- Changes to Library Search

You might have noticed changes to Library Search over the weekend. We've made some updates to make it easier to use.

What's changed?

Faster load times: You've told us that Library search is too slow, and hopefully these changes will make it faster to find what you need

Enhanced searching: Variations of search terms will be included in your search. For example, when you search for heart attack you will get results for myocardial infarction as well.

Library News -- EndNoteX8.2 is available

Endnote X8.2 is available to download

If you are an ACU student or staff member, you can download EndNote version X8.2 for free via the EndNote subject guide.

If you’re not familiar with EndNote, the software allows you to manage bibliographies and references when writing for work or study.

Whether you are a Windows or Mac user, you can download the software directly to your computer.
