more than just an academic library

The big freeze. More snow clouds are descending over the capital as i write and for the second night running all dit libraries will be closing at 5pm.
I've talked here before (most recent 30th sept) about the Barbour Index, 1 of our best full text e-resources, and the weekly Barbour briefings that you can get sent to your pc. In the latest Environmental briefing received earlier today is a 3pager Guide to driving in snow and ice. You probably wont be able to access this unless you've signed up for the briefings. but its full of sensible sane advice about driving safety on these current tricky icy roads. How to cope with rear wheel skids, front wheel skids, what to do if you get stuck and worse, if you get stranded.
So there, yet another service beyond just issuing books provided by the DIT Library. Safe home
