What does the library offer?
4. How many books can I take?
This varies between courses, most students can take 10, MA students can take 12.
We will tell you what date your books are due back by when you have them issued. As a rough guide we issue loans for half a term.
You can renew your loans online once, but after this, we must physically see them in the library before we can renew them again.
5. Very Important
Warning:Please do not lend to other students any items you have borrowed from the library, as they will remain your responsibility. You will still be charged for their replacement if others mislay the loans.
6. Very Important (2)
The Lending and Reference Libraries are phone free zones, so please turn them either off or to silent. Please take any phone calls outside.
The Reference Library is a silent working area.
Please dont lock the computers. If you do so, we will switch them off, which will cause any work that you havent saved to be lost!

10. Our Intranet Page
The library intranetpage has access to 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.

  • Document Library-This 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.
