Library Services
The libraries are at the centre of academic life in the college, and we work closely with tutors to provide a targeted selection of print and online books, magazines and databases.
All students and staff are automatically members of the library and can borrow for free.
Our library staff can offer advice and tuition to groups or individual students on copyright, referencing and research, including the use of online resources. Our library service is the winner of the 2019 CoLRiC Best Practice Award.
