E-books, have you used them yet?

All three LRCs are closing over Christmas but e-books are a great way to use the LRC's resources from home!

Here is a quick guide to get you started...

We have over 3200 e-books in stock and they are all accessible through our Online Catalogue 'Heritage'. Please open the Heritage link in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 9 to make sure you have full functionality.

If you just want to search for e-books use Advanced search and select E-book from the Media Type drop down menu.


Once you have your search results click on the title of the e-book you want to view and then on the Resource link. Enter your College Username and Password and you will be transferred to the e-book. 

All e-books can be viewed online or downloaded to your computer. You can also print and copy from e-books and use a range of interactive tools to help you study.

For more information on e-books pop in and see a member of LRC staff or check out our new Top Tips for using e-books Guide on the LRC e-resources Moodle Page.

Happy Reading!
