Start page

Have you used one of our library PCs recently? We’ve got a new start page.

It offers an alternative 'way in' to our services - especially our online services. Click on the picture below for a guide to the main features.

The idea is to bring to the fore the key links that our users need from the libraries – the sites that we know are most used on library PCs, the most heavily-used ‘tasks’ on our website, and the very valuable online resources we subscribe to on your behalf – all in one place! In addition there’s a live feed from Twitter, so you can find out about forthcoming events and any news items, links to all our social media and a BBC news feed.

You’ll find links into our website ‘proper’ (this site!), and into the key sections of the Westminster Council website too. Then Quick Links taking you directly to tasks such as ‘Renew books’, ‘Search the catalogue’ and ‘Book a PC’.

But the real gems are on the right – subject categories that give you links to free stuff (via our Gateway), direct links into our Exclusive resources (the ones David and Google-man referred to in the previous post) and information about the fantastic range of ‘In’House Specials’ we hold – online databases that we can’t offer remote access to, but which to the researcher can be like gold-dust – now you can find out where they are.

Until recently, it's only been available on library PCs, but now you can use it from anywhere - we hope you find it useful.
