One of our main services to you, as the University Library, is providing access to high-quality academic resources<\/strong> and we do this in abundance – although at present you cannot access the physical book stock, you do have access to nearly 250,000 online resources<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessing\nOnline Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best place to start accessing your online resources is your Online Reading List<\/a>, as your tutors will have compiled a list of great materials to begin your research journey. But really great research doesn’t limit itself to just one place, so be sure to make the most of all your resources via the Library Catalogue<\/a>, Discover More<\/a> and your online specialist subject databases<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of eBooks remain multi-user, where available, with many extended to unlimited access until 30th June. We are also continuing to prioritise eBook purchases, looking into further electronic provisions and have a handy eBooks Guide<\/a> to help you read online, or download, at your leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Want It, We Get It<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you come across any materials, such as books or journal articles, that are not currently accessible online then don\u2019t despair \u2013 this isn\u2019t the end of the line! Simply place a request via our You Want It, We Get It<\/a> service, select the electronic<\/strong> option and we will do our best* to source a copy for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UniSkills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
