Didn't find what you were looking for ?

An increasing volume of the resources that the Library makes available to you are online.  These online collections consist of a range of types of materials – eBooks, eJournals, streamed video, etc  – which is obtained from a range of different publishers.  Some of this content we own and some of it we lease. 

The leased materials are managed and controlled by the company who owns the content and they will make changes to this content over time.  This means that eBooks and eJournals can be withdrawn from collections with little advance notice and you may find that eBooks and eJournals that you have used in the past are no longer available to you.


 The Library can generally acquire these materials in other ways if you let us know that you need to use it.  Letting us know what you need access to is very simple.  From our website there is a link called ‘recommend a resource’ (it’s in the centre of the home page) which connects you to an online form where you can tell us what you want to access.  If the resource was available and is no longer add a note after the item’s title to point this out to us.


 Please feel free to use this recommendation service at any time as we are always looking for suggestions about how to best support your research.  Your recommendation will be forwarded to the relevant liaison librarian who will investigate the recommendation on your behalf.


 And if at any time you don’t find what you are looking for in the collections, whether online or on the shelves of one of the libraries, please ask at one of the library desks or contact us by phone or email.
