Library and Information Services

All students have access to superb and extensive library and information services.  These are found in a number of study centres that are subject based for ease of use.  The study centres and libraries house the traditional collections of books and magazines and go beyond that to also offer access to open access PC's and e-resources.

Resources and facilities include:

• Materials for loan
  
• Up to date reference materials
  
• Wide range of journals and newspapers
  
• Computerised catalogue of all learning resources
