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.

Fiction at Farnham College LRC

One corner of our LRC is slightly partitioned off by a convenient pillar and bookcase and this is the fiction area.  It has comfortable red chairs to settle in and enjoy a good book or to read a newspaper or one of the many journals which we also keep in this part of the LRC.  Of course you can borrow the books too!

There’s a wide selection of books from the latest vampires to detectives, war stories, fantasy, romance and much, much more – something for everyone!  Having said that we are always happy to hear of any books you would like us to get.

If you’d just like to read something short why not try one of our Quick Reads?

If you are an ESOL student you will find your course books here together with the Penguin and Cambridge graded reading books so that everything is in one place and easy to find.

We also have daily newspapers delivered including The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph and the Daily Mirror.  For local news there’s the Farnham Herald each Friday.

As you come in to the fiction area there are two carousels on either side of you with the latest magazines/journals on the various subjects taught here.  Everyone can look at these and apart from the latest issue you can borrow them.

Do come and have a look.
