Libraries & Collections are committed to supporting our learner communities to the best of our abilities. We do this in different ways across a number of platforms, like Library Guides, KEATS and LibAnswers FAQs, Each platform has its own purpose:

Library webpages

These give a quick overview of library services and resources, where you will find:

• A direct library search box on our home page.

We have Library Guides that are specifically focused on different subjects and that can be used to help you choose and access relevant resources and support for your subject.
