Changes to the University structure on the Lincoln Repository

Posted on February 1st, 2013 by Paul Stainthorp

Screenshot from the Lincoln RepositoryThe following changes have been made to the browsable University structure in the Lincoln Repository (eprints.lincoln.ac.uk):

  1. The former Faculty of Agriculture, Food & Animal Sciences has been removed.
  2. National Centre for Food Manufacturing (Holbeach Campus) has been moved into College of Sciences > Faculty of Science.
  3. Also in the Faculty of Science, a node has been created for the new Lincoln School of Pharmacy.
  4. In the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences, two departments have been updated to reflect slight changes in name:
    1. School of Social & Political Sciences
    2. School of Sport & Exercise Science

This structure is used to organise content in the Repository, it’s also used to organise the Quarterly Research Output Reports, which are generated from Repository data.

In a future iteration of the Repository we intend to take the University structure directly from Lincoln’s data API layer, Nucleus.

September already?

<Wilhelm scream>: it’s student induction season in the Fens again.

Library induction presentation for new students beginning foundation degrees (FdSc Food Manufacture / FdSc Agriculture & Environment) at the University of Lincoln’s National Centre for Food Manufacturing, Holbeach Campus, south Lincolnshire: September 2010.

(Explanation: even though I haven’t really been a subject librarian for a couple of years, I’ve kept up my relationship with the National Centre for Food Manufacturing in Holbeach. I’ve spent a bit of time this summer working with colleagues to improve the University of Lincoln’s small campus library there. Next week’s will be an interesting induction: for the first time, all of the students beginning foundation and full undergraduate degrees this year will be studying via distance learning online.)
