Using the Internet and CD-ROM Databases in the Library

Bramley College now has full electronic information resources in the College Library to help you in your studies. On CD-ROM in the library we have about fifty databases, including many statistical sources. Want to know the average rainfall in Tokyo or the biggest export earner of Vanuaty? It's easy to find out. Whether you are in the School of Business or the School of Art and Design, it's all here for you.

You can conduct your own CD-ROM search for no charge, and you can print out your results on the library printers using your library photocopying card. Alternatively, you can download your results to disk, again for no charge, but bring your own formatted floppy disk or CD-ROM. If you are not sure how to conduct a search for yourself, library staff can do it for you, but we charge $20 for this service, no matter how long or how short a time it takes.

All library workstations have broadband access to the Internet, so you can find the web-based information you need quickly and easily. If you are unfamiliar with using the Internet, help is available in several ways. You can start with the online tutorial Netstart; just click on the Netstart icon on the Main Menu. The tutorial will take you through the basic steps to using the Internet, at any time convenient to you. If you prefer, ask one of the librarians for internet advice (best at quiet times between 9.00 am and 11.30 am weekdays) or attend one of the introductory group sessions that are held in the first two weeks of each term. Sign your name on the list on the Library Bulletin Board to guarantee a place, as they are very popular.

A word of warning; demand for access to library workstations is very high, so you are strongly advised to book a workstation, and we have to limit your use to a maximum of one hour at any one time. Make your booking (for which you will receive a receipt) at the Information Desk or at the enquiry desks in the Media Services Area (Level I). Also, use of the computers is limited to Bramley students only, so you may be asked to produce your Student ID Card to make a booking, or while using the workstations. 

To copy search results to a floppy disk, students pay ______

(12) ______

— Spend time with your children
— Do a good deed for a neighbour
— Give small but thoughtful gifts to your loved ones
— Be a considerate driver
— Be helpful for work colleagues
— Volunteer for a charity. Visit www.timebank.org.uk for opportunities

Mindful Matters

Rebecca Speechley 

(13) ______

‘Mindfulness can transform the way we tackle communication problems,’ says Kate Carne. Practising being fully in the present helps us to choose how to respond in an argument.

‘If someone makes you angry, and you’re mindful then you’ll deal with your feelings first. Concentrate on your breathing and work out exactly how you feel. Then you can approach the person who triggered your anger in a calm and rational manner.’

Treat people you meet with automatic acceptance, as if they were members of your family, and you’ll find them easier to relate to on a friendly basis.

Mindful Matters

Rebecca Speechley 

(14) ______

Mindfulness can help us reduce stress levels, according to research. If you're feeling anxious, spend a few minutes concentrating on yourself, as you are, at that moment. Be aware of the chair you're sitting on, for example, and how it feels to be supported by it and think about your breathing.

‘By doing this you move your mind and body almost immediately out of a frantic, stressful, "doing" mode and into a relaxing "being" mode,’ explains Kate Carne. To feel more at peace with yourself, focus on what you have achieved during the day and not on what you haven’t.

Mindful Matters

(15) ______

Get great results from your workout in less time by being more mindful about your exercise routine. Sports psychologists suggest focusing on the muscles you’re using, how they feel, and your breathing. Tune into how your bodyworks to improve its efficiency, and enjoy your exercise routine more. Dancing classes and team activities also give emotional support. Exercising outdoors improves wellbeing too, according to research from the University of Essex.’Green exercise’ - jogging or walking in the country - can significantly improve self-esteem and mood.

Mindful Matters

(16) ______

The French tend to eat mindfully, paying attention to and enjoying everything that passes their lips. Research by the North American Association for the Study of Obesity suggests that overweight men and women ate fewer calories when they concentrated on what they were putting in their mouths. ‘Eat slowly and chew properly,’ says Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat (£12, Chatto& Windus).’Don’t watch television or read the paper. Think only about what you are eating. Smell and enjoy every bite.’

Going Places, on the Cheap

Writers often travel unpredictable and uncommon paths. That’s particularly — and literally — true for Matt Gross, who had the enviable task of traversing the globe in 90 days, chronicling his journey in a blog and (17) ______ .

In May, he set out from New York City to Lisbon. In August, he ended his trip with a flight from Beijing to San Francisco.

But my perfect vacation is not necessarily the same thing as anybody else’s perfect vacation. So I try and do everything. I explore (21) ______ . It’s this sort of constant rush.”

With his editors, Gross decided to avoid some destinations, and purposely include others. He also wanted to simply see where the winds would take him. “I can’t really narrow it down because in some ways I’m not (22) ______ ,” he said mid-trip. “I don’t care where I go; I’m just happy to go.”
