Referencing software

The university provides and supports EndNote referencing software for use by all trainees. Although other referencing programs are available, these are not supported by the university and the programme is not able to recommend any alternatives.EndNote is compatible with both Windows and Mac computers and is available via Apps Anywhere. If you need help using this, articles explaining how to use it are available here on Lancaster Answers. EndNote links directly into Microsoft Office which is also available to all trainees while on the programme. Instructions on how to install the Office suite are available on Lancaster Answers.The library has an extensive help area for EndNote including frequently asked questions.

Interlibrary loans & document supply

If you can’t find the document, e.g. book or article, that you need in the Library or online, you can request it through the Library’s Interlending and Document Supply (IDS) service.

Most researchers can find the information they need through the Library’s extensive collections in print and online, and through freely available resources on the internet or in other libraries. For instances where you cannot find the item you require for your research, please use the IDS service and we will try to obtain the items you need by requesting a copy or purchasing items on your behalf.

Please be aware that the Library may not be able to provide access to every document you require due to resource constraints and collection management considerations.

Trainee resources

Places to study

The location of the DClinPsy programme is in HI One on the Health Innovation Campus.  There are open access breakout areas within the building and a study area on B floor available to students.

Trainees also have access to bookable study spaces through the library, spaces with PC access are available. More information is available on the Learning Spaces webpage.

Trainees will also be able to use the Study Hub, based in The Storey in Lancaster. This town centre facility is available to all Lancaster University postgraduate students (you will need your University card to gain access) – there is a quiet study group space with a large monitor and a small group workroom. It has capacity for up to 46 people, access to the university’s Eduroam Wi-Fi and is open six days a week (closed Sundays).

Refreshment Facilities

Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the HI One building adjacent to the teaching room on B floor. A cafe is also available within the building on B floor.

Equipment

The programme office provides equipment that trainees are able to loan out for research purposes. Some examples of this equipment include digital recorders, USB foot pedals for transcription, mobile phones and telephone pick up devices to record telephone interviews. If you would like to loan out any equipment, we advise that you email the office in advance to ensure that what you need is in stock. If the equipment is not available we will chase this for you.

Psychometric Tests

The programme office has a selection of psychological tests that can be loaned out to trainees. A list of the tests available can be found in the resources section on Moodle.

The Classroom on Wheels

The course owns a Classroom on Wheels unit storing laptops. The laptops are mainly used within research teaching to allow for interactive sessions where the trainees can follow the instructions given by the teachers using software such as SPSS. Trainees can use the laptops providing they are not removed.

It is the responsibility of the trainee who has borrowed an item to ensure that it is returned to the programme. In the event that resources are not returned, the trainee who last borrowed the item will be financially liable to replace the item borrowed. Resources should not therefore be passed on to others for use and short-loan books need to be returned on the same day they are loaned out.
