Assisting with status updates and Turnitin submissions<\/strong>
\nThe LearnTech team have added a widget in the top right corner of the NILE screen to display the current time and date in the UK. This is to help overseas students to determine the correct deadlines to work to for online submission.
\nWe have also added a box on the login page to notify users that the NILE and Turnitin services are (or are not) working normally. We will change the image to a red cross if there are any problems with either of the systems. At all other times a green tick will be displayed.<\/p>\n

New Library Account Service<\/strong>
\nThe new \u2018My Library Account\u2019 box embeds live library account information onto your NILE homepage.
