Using E-resources at Farnham College

Students at Farnham College are able to access a huge range of specially purchased on-line material, thanks to the fact that they share resources with Merrist Wood and Guildford College.  The ones they find most useful include:

·         Infotrac – journals, magazines, newspapers, reference covering many subjects

·         Issues Online – a wide coverage of contemporary social issues

·         New Scientist

·         e-Mag – English Literature and Language

·         Media Magazine

·         New Perspective – History articles

·         Intered – specialist magazines and books covering child care ages 0-18 years

·         Ebooks such as the Level 3 BTEC Business book

Go to Moodle/Key Courses/E-resources and explore these yourself, or ask a member of the LRC staff to help you find the ones most relevant to your subject.
