The Library

The College Library & Learning Resource Centre contains around 7,000 books, audio-visual materials & resource packs, as well as newspapers & magazines, & photocopying facility. There are 13 computers for student use. It is managed using the Eclipse database, available to all students & staff around the college & at home via SearchStar.

 

There is a TouchScreen in the library for constant student access to SearchStar with its wide range of information based on the library catalogue, including direct links to recommended websites.

 

The Resource Centre is run by a full time librarian and an assistant librarian who help students to use the library effectively & who liaise with teaching staff & students regularly in updating stock. The librarians are assisted daily by a large number of student librarians, who also help to run competitions & other library events.

 

This area of the College is a silent study area, with the exception of break-times when it is a centre for more varied library activities. Year 7 follows a Library Study Skills programme on entering the college. The library is regularly used by the English Department for reading lessons & other English studies & it is often booked by other departments for research-based lessons. It is also open for homework every day until 5.00pm.
