library visit

We visited the Bower Ashton campus to explore the Library which specialises in Art and Design, Culture, Media and Drama. The library offers a wide range of resorces which will come in useful to us when we  do research and when we need to use resorces such as books, journals and printers.  The library also offers:

• 1000s of books - including e-books
• A wide range of databases to search for articles on your subject
• 10,000+ journals - online and in print
• Audiovisual items including DVDs
• A range of study spaces - silent, quiet, group
• Internet access and Wifi
• Online help with referencing and other information skills
• Printing and photocopying facilities
• Alternative formats service

Library Services Values: A desire to deliver the best service possible to all our users A dedication to teamwork and collaborative working to achieve our aims A commitment to continuous learning to realise our potential in everything we do A work culture that is based on mutual respect, inclusiveness, trust and openness The effective use of communication to enable and recognise achievement and to encourage individual, team and library development An understanding of the changing environment and the confidence that we can make a positive difference.

University Aim: “To raise aspirations and widen participation in higher education.”

I found the visit to the library very useful as I now know what is available for me to use and that there is a wide range of resources that will be helpful and an later be an important part of my study.
