What does the Library offer?

Information for part-time and distance learning students

The Library offers you, by means of its web pages, direction to the most appropriate and useful information about its services and resources.
Of particular use may be:
  • Delivery of book chapters and journal articles held in print by the Library, to your desktop via the myDocuments service
  • Access to other participating University libraries via the SCONUL Access scheme
Please also consider the potential usefulness of your local and other libraries. Universities which are not part of the SCONUL Access scheme may allow you to use them for reference purposes only, and some will allow you to borrow on payment of a fee.
If you live in the UK and the Library does not have the item you need, we may be able to obtain it for you through our InterLibrary Request Service. Alternatively, your local public library may be prepared to obtain material on inter-library loan for you for a small charge.
Further information about these services is available from the Quick links box. Information about other potentially useful services is provided below:
