Library and Learning Resources

Academic Support

The library team are very happy to help your students with any study skills support they need. They will familiarise them with college systems, and help them adapt to write academically, deliver presentations or understand the intricacies of referencing and citation (and more). Available as individual or small group sessions, or to your class in-person or via MS Teams, bringing a new face and voice to their learning experience.

Unique Quiet Study Spaces & Student Resources

Students have access to the library’s wide range of books and online resources, and it provides a space for independent learning, or quiet supported learning for groups (no timetabling of lessons or teaching within the libraries). The Group’s libraries are first and foremost a student resource and they cater to a variety of needs and learning styles. Quieter areas and spaces are available for students to discuss assignments or work collaboratively on projects.

Students are welcome to drop in to the libraries and use a desk, laptop or a PC when it is convenient for them. For class bookings, where their library offer these, you will need to contact your campus library team in advance to check availability. Not every site supports these and at those which can, the libraries experience high demand. They do not routinely offer library spaces for exam use and no group will be given exclusive use of library spaces to ensure we maximise fair access to all.
