Songs and classical music with an analytical commentary are also available. There are special theme-based cassettes compiled under the direction of the Language Centre which are of special interest to upper intermediate and advanced level users. A complete transcript with supporting articles and exercises accompanies each cassette. The Library also has copies of the textbooks and tapes used in the Centre's EFL classes, including those courses organised for spouses. The Library subscribes to a small selection of newspapers and periodicals in French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Newspapers list general and specific schedules of programmes.
Situated on the first floor, the CALL study area has PCs and Macintoshes. Popular software is already installed with some CDs available on request from the Librarian. User manuals are adjacent to the computer and the catalogue can also be viewed on the Department's Web pages or in the Library card catalogue. The computing facilities are available to all who are registered users of the Centre including spouse and external categories. The University Computing Services run courses in basic and advanced IT skills.
