We collect and and create access to information sources, and we make available those facilities which enable you to discover, retrieve, store, manage and present information. In short, we are all about information access and management. The Campus Bookshop , which is operated for us by Waterstone's, and The European Resource Centre for schools and colleges, which is part of a network with 2 other centres in the North-East, funded by the European Union. Our home is the Information Resources Centre which was purpose-designed for us and occupies the second floor of the Ebsworth Building.
Training is an important part of our work.
