| FROM THE DIRECTOR |
This is the first issue of iNews combining the news from the entire Information Services unit. Information Services (formerly Library and Technology Services) has been working as one unit to offer an integrated information and technology service to the Bond community since late last year. The synergies created as a result of this union have been tremendous. We aim to offer a one-stop shop service to all our customers using all our resources across the whole unit.  |
| RESOURCES UPDATE |
|
New research at Bond is well supported by the Library’s constantly growing collection of electronic resources. After careful selection and testing by our specialist Librarians new resources are regularly added to the collection.
