This is our page

The library intranet page has a list of a wide range of resources that can be accessed off campus.

Some of them are services that are subscribed to by the college, and some of them are sites offering access to information that we think may be helpful.

• The Document Library includes PDF documents that we have found or have been requested by tutors, useful websites for each course, a list of dissertations and student projects, lists of new books (updated monthly), a list of our current journal subscriptions, and a folder of library information.

• Announcements- Keep up to date with library information (though you can also check the library facebook for this.

Online Journals

There are two main journal sites that allow access to journals that we subscribe to.

E-journals A-Z is the simplest interface if you want to read a particular journal.

Search EBSCO Journals allows you to search the journals we subscribe to for a subject that you are researching.

We also have links to some good free resources:

ROAR and OpenDOAR are free access repositories that mainly link to journal abstracts but can be useful for getting an overview of the amount and type of research that has been carried out.
