The Library

Fountains Learning CentreOur Library currently stocks around 175,000 books and we have access to over 3,000 periodicals most of which are available electronically. There are also collections of audiovisual material such as DVDs and videos and access to a wide range of electronic information sources, including electronic books.

You can expect that all the listed learning requirements will be resourced, usually with multiple copies of books available.

Other services include an interlibrary loan service for specialist items we don’t hold, links to other local libraries and access to numerous bibliographical and reference databases. An enquiry service is available and library staff provide guidance and support on all matters relating to finding and using information including exploiting the Internet and citing resources. We are members of the reciprocal SCONUL Access scheme which allows students access and, in some cases borrowing privileges, at other Higher Education libraries.

The British Library Document Supply with its vast collections is nearby at Boston Spa and can be accessed through its public reading room. We also have specialist collections and facilities in our RE Centre.
