E-Resources

Whilst many of you may be familiar with searching the Internet for help with your assignments much of what you find may:

• lack relevance;
• be biased by the author;
• be out of date;
• lack authority.

In order to ensure that you are researching quality information - with relevance to your subject area - we subscribe to a number of e-resources on your behalf.

How do I access the e-resources?

If you are in College and the table below states 'direct access' you can click on the link provided and access the e-resource. If you are outside College you will first need to login to the College network remotely, then go to this list of e-resources and click on the links provided.

Some e-resources, however, do require individual usernames and passwords and these are provided in the LRC Information Pack which is available in LRC Online on Blackboard. Alternatively you can obtain a copy from the LRC folder on the F:\drive or ask the LRC staff for a copy.
