Our e-Library is our collection of electronic resources available via the Library catalogue here. If you are a student of the College, you have access to our growing collection of quality online information including:

- Full text academic journals

- Subject specific databases

- Electronic books

- Databases of images, maps, statistics, datasets and other resources

The e-resources are password protected. You can access the e-resources using your college username (student ID) and password. You must complete the login process on campus before you will be able to log in remotely.

You can use the Library catalogue to find out what resources we have on a particular subject. The catalogue will tell you what we have, where to find it and whether it is currently available or out on loan. It can also be used to look at your library account, renew your items, reserve an item or cancel a reservation. All this can be done by clicking the ‘View your account’ link.
