New Student E-mail Service!

The University of Salford has introduced a new student e-mail system. This new facility allows increased functionality and is more intuative to use. Now, every student has a new email account. All students' old Webmail accounts will be kept until January 2011 although it is strongly recommended that when sending e-mails, all students should use this new e-mail service.



For more information on the new e-mail system, please see the website at: http://students.salford.ac.uk/news/?id=415.

Improved Visual Arts Journal Display at Allerton Library

In response to academic staff and student demand we now have an improved current journals display at Allerton Library. Replacing the old display on Level 3, we now have a new stand in the Level 2 Extension (next to the art books and AV materials). It is a free-standing display adjacent to the soft seating area and displays all of the current issues of the Visual Arts journals held at Allerton Library. Please feel free to go and browse!
