The Library has a huge range of textbook and eBook titles to meet your needs.
Textbooks can be a great place to start your research, but remember that demand can be high, so you'll need to plan in advance. Use the Library Catalogue to check what books the library has available.
eBooks are a quick and easy way to access material. They are available on or off campus and can be used 24 hours a day. If you own a tablet device, these books can be viewed easily wherever you have a connection to the internet. These titles also allow limited printing.
