Books and journals Our collection of printed books and journals is a new and developing one, with more than 200,000 books in the University collections and 2,000 journal titles. The majority of our journals are also available in electronic versions, so that if a recent copy of a journal is unavailable on the library shelves, you may be able to find it available at one of our networked computers. The Learning Resources Centre is excellent. Computing Every computer in the Centre gives you access to an extensive range of applications. Microsoft Office is universal, with inexpensive, high-speed networked printing.
Every student is given an individual email account with file store.
The network offers access to more than 100 digital information sources, providing subject indexes and abstracts to scholarly publications and the full-text versions of some national newspapers, academic journals and government reports. Internet access is provided widely throughout the Centre, and network access is available throughout all our hours of opening, which are for seven days a week through the teaching year and past midnight to 2.00am Monday to Thursday. All of which are used by students, working either in organised lecture groups or alone. The University manages a second Learning Resources Centre at Putteridge Bury. This contains the same mix of traditional library resources with networked computers.
