 Welcome to SOAS Library. My name is Frazana Koreshi and I'm an Arts and Humanities Librarian. This also includes my role as a Subject Librarian for Development Studies. If you're new to SOAS or need a refresher on how to navigate the library as a Development Studies student, then this video will give you an overview of everything you need to make the most of your library experience. In this video, I'll be giving an insight into how to locate resources that are most relevant for Development Studies students, including where to find the regional, journal and audiovisual collections. Lastly, we'll go over study and training spaces, where to find library support available to you and exciting library events to look out for. All core texts for Development Studies that cover general theory and practice can be found on level E with an A classmark. Subjects within the field are broken down into thematic and sub-subjects. You can find this material in and around stacks 15 to 21. When searching for literature, the most common approach is to search for material using the online library catalog and use the classmarks to locate the texts on the Locate Library Item webpage. You can also come to the library to just browse the shelves to see what we have. This is a great way to research the collections and learn about the themes covered. Let's take an example and look for a core text. The text we're searching for is Globalization, Poverty and Inequality. In each collection, books are arranged by subject matter within Development Studies and given a classification to file the book. For example, this number reads A337. 337 is the classification relating to the subject of globalization. Then the 6-digit accession number helps us to file the book correctly on the shelf in sequential order. This particular book has a green label on it to show that it's a one-week loan and can only be taken out by SOAS students and staff. The study of global development overlaps with many other subjects and so it's likely that you'll want to find other texts in the library. You can find these library floor maps by each main lift in the library. Use these as a guide to explore our wide range of collections. We have a huge audiovisual collection on floor E where you can find films, including documentaries and our music collection. You can also locate our print journals and newspaper collections on level E. Regional collections can be found on various other floors. Finally there's also a wide range of support services available from the library. Subject and regional librarians can be found in E10 where we have an enquiry desk between 10 to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. Study spaces are available on all floors and our dedicated training space is here in E17. The SOAS IT service desk can be found on the ground floor and is open during term time from 8.30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. Don't forget that you have access to Senate House Library next door and other University of London libraries. Development studies is an exciting field to be studying at SOAS and we're here to support you throughout your journey.
