Library Services
What is It?
The Student Centre includes the Library and Student Centre general computer labs.
The user experience, when accessing databases and other on-line resources such as eBooks, will be dependent on how well the vendor's site supports tablet devices. Most are moving to do this with adaptive website design and/or mobile applications made available through the app stores.
When Would I Use It?
The Library site provides access to electronic resources, giving students and researchers maximum flexibility as to when and where they do their library research.
The Student Centre labs provide general access and after hours computer facilities.
