‘Changing Barnsley’: from mining town to university town
Staff and students can purchase a copy of ‘Changing Barnsley’ for the special price of £10. Available from UCB reception or the Library.
Edited by former Head of Campus, Cathy Doggett and Pro-Vice Chancellor Tim Thornton. Changing Barnsley: from mining town to university town looks at how Barnsley has evolved through the eyes of the former Mining and Technical College on Church Street (now the University Campus). The book tells the history of the building which has been at the centre of education in Barnsley since its construction in 1932, the people that have used it and the skills they have gained.
No need to panic…
…if you’ve forgotten to bring a pen or something to write on.
The library sells pens, pencils, notepads and other stationary type paraphernalia. All at very reasonable prices too.

Are YOU using PortalPlus?
If so you may have noticed some changes recently. We decided that PortalPlus needed to be more relevant to Barnsley if you study at UCB. So we asked a few of you some questions and came up with the new UCB Portal – specially for you guys!
Take a look at the new PortalPlus here.
What do you mean you’ve never used PortalPlus? Why ever not?? It makes life so much simpler – once you start to use it you’ll wonder why you didn’t start earlier. If you look at the University student home page you will see the logon box. Once you have logged into PortalPlus, you can access all of the University systems, contacts and news without having to log in individually again. It’s much easier!
So come on! Get using the new PortalPlus now! You won’t regret it – honest!
If you have any questions about PortalPlus, or anything else IT related just come and see Julie in the Library.
