Stock up for summer

Borrow as many items as you need for the summer holidays.

We have selected some of our favourite summer fiction to get you started, come and have a browse and see what you fancy.

Books include Richard and Judy book club books, Costa award Winners, Orange award winners, and more.


A book for the beach, the airport, a camping trip, or with a cup of tea on the sofa?

Take all of the items you need for the summer NOW!
The Information Store is being refurbished from the 8th of July.  We will have no access to our book stock after this date until September.

We have increased the number of items available per person to 50, and we can issue items through until the 12th September.  Please borrow any items you will need for work, study or student support purposes as soon as possible.

If you will need to access to more than 50 items during this period or have any other questions about our summer refurbishment, please us contact at libhelp@ccn.ac.uk or on x.3048.

The Open Access Area C (C30) will be open Mon-Fri 9 am - 5 pm during the holidays for:
  • Computing / Printing
  • Comb binding
  • Advice
  • Small Reference collection

Dissertations have moved upstairs

The dissertations are now in Information Store B, on your left hand side if you come up the stairs from Information Store A.

You can search for dissertations by going to Blackboard > Information Store Catalogue > Advanced  > change the "Medium" to "Dissertation".

Alternatively, simply browse the dissertations. They are in the same order as your books, so if you usually find your books on the shelves at 370, look at dissertations numbered 370.

And, as always, just ask if you need help.

Films have moved!

The film DVDs usually found in the Silent Study Area (at 791.43), have moved to the lobby area at the entrance to the annexes.

If you are not sure where this is, please ask.

If, on the other hand, you would rather explore, they can be found by going into the Information Store, continuing as far as the stairs, turn immediately right and walk past the CD stands, and then straight ahead of you is the lobby area. There's plenty to choose from!

This move is part of our plans to make the Information Store easier for you to use. Watch this space for more news about our exciting plans this summer...
