Looking for festive images?

Christmas is coming and our subscription to Britannica ImageQuest can help with the decorations with the festive selection of DK Images 

DK Images sources its collection from books published by the world-renowned publisher Dorling Kindersley. The collection has over 2 million images, and while not all of them are festive, their library of educational images is unparallelled.

 

You can check out this amazing collection, plus all the other wonderful collections, in Britannica ImageQuest!

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!
