Familiar faces and new faces

Welcome from everyone in the Information Store

A big welcome to all new faces around college, and to those who are returning after (hopefully) a lovely summer break.

For everyone who is new, here's a few things to get you started with the Information Store (the college library). We're a friendly bunch so pop in and say hi, we're here to help you make the most of your time at college.

Your library card:

Your student card doubles as your library card, so no need to come in and apply for a card or activate your card, it is all set up and ready for you to borrow.

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

I am sure you have 101 questions as you start at college, and it can be hard to know where to start. We have compiled some of our most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and put them (and their answers) on Blackboard.
