Bargain buys
Have a look through our book sale trolley for withdrawn library stock. The books may be older and well used but with prices starting at 50p you might find something really useful.

New database - ProQuest Central
The decision to subscribe to PQC was taken after a full consultation exercise, as we will no longer be subscribing to Emerald or BSP. However, PQC contains the majority of material in these two databases and as mentioned much more besides.

New year...new look for the home page
We're starting off the new academic year with a new look to our home page. As you can see, it's a lot more colourful and - we're hoping - a lot more user-friendly.
The Library Services toolbar has been updated with a quick search box for the library catalogue and a 'Links to...' box which means the full library catalogue - where you can log in to renew your books, databases A-Z page, eJournals A-Z page and Subject Resources pages are still only a click away.
Information for Staff, Students, Distance Learners and Researchers pages can be accessed via the 'Information for...' box. We've been busy over the summer creating a new Referencing page and updating Reading lists that can be found by clicking on the 'Students' link.
Our workshop timetable can be found in the 'Contact us/Help' box along with links to the campus-wide Frequently Asked Questions site, FAQMu and the growing 'You said, We said' comments and feedback feature.
Our online Room Bookings system, Open Access Repositories and LRC induction information can be found in the 'Information about...' box.
What do you think? Do you like the new look?
