Test4
Section3
A: I have just transferred to School of Education and I’d like information about joining a library.
B: Well, the school of education has library on two sites as I’m sure you know. The site I show you is Fordham, and the other is for Castle Road.
A: And is there any difference between two libraries?
B: not in terms of their facilities. Access to online databases and the Internet is available in both sites. And each site has a range of reference material on education.
A: I see.
B: but the Castle Road site has the sociology of education. And a collection of textbooks and teaching resources covering most of the subjects taught in secondary school.
A: oh, right, but I’m training to be a primary teacher. So I need to look at materials for 5-11 age group.
B: then you’ve come to the right place. At Fordham we hold the materiel relating to primary school as well as special needs. But of course, you need to familiarise yourself with(知晓) both sites to make the most of our resources.
A: you haven’t mention periodicals(期刊). Are they held in both sites?
B: Current issues, yes. But if you want to look at back issues, you need to use CD Rom databases which are held here in the Fordam.
A: I see, now about borrowing books, I’m living out of town, so I’m hoping I can borrow quite a few items, and cut down on a number of trips I have to make.
B: right, well, members can borrow 2 books at a time for each site.
A: only two books?
B: only two for each site. But that’s 4 altogether.
A: and how long can I hang on to them for?
B: the borrowing period is one month, but of course books can be renewed. You can renew any item a maximum of three times.
A: do I have to come to the library to do that?
B: no, you can do it by telephone or email. But you can’t renew overdue books this way. Only before or on the due date stamped the book. We’ll need your full name, your borrow number and name of site library you borrow the items from
A: so theoretically, I can borrow books for up to three months. Is that what you were saying?
B: yes, provide that you were not recalled.
A: so what happens then?
B: Well sometimes the item is request by another borrower, in which case we will send you a letter, and you have to return the books within the seven working days. And don’t forget we are closed on Sundays.
A: OK
A: I’ll expect it’ll take me a while to find what I need. There’s such a lot here.
B: but if you need help to get started, this term we are running 3 study skills workshops.
A: what are they on?
B: the first one is on resources. How to use the library resources. That includes everything, not just the print, technical resources.
A: is there anything on using on the internet?
B: the one on internet for beginners was last term. This term is finding research materials online.
A: what’s the last one?
B : it’s a workshop for dissertations.
A: what do you mean? How to write one?
B: no, it’s more to do with academic writing conventions. You know, writing a bibliography(参考书目) and how to refer to resources in your text. That’s sort of things. Anyway, here is a leaflet with information about all three.
A:thanks a lot. That’ll be very useful.
B: you’re welcome. |
