Library

Libraries are available in Ballymoney, Coleraine, Farm Lodge, Magherafelt, Newtownabbey and Trostan Avenue.

The libraries aim to:

• Provide a welcoming environment
• Provide an environment that supports learning
• Provide resources that support research, study and teaching

You will find a wide range of resources in the library, many of which will relate to your course, but some are for general interest, including fiction and newspapers. 

For example:

Books

We have about 35,000 volumes spread across 6 sites. Most of these are available for loan.  Students can also access almost 3000 electronic books (e-books).

Journals

We subscribe to more than 70 titles.  Current copies of each journal are displayed on the display shelves in each library. Older copies are held in the archives for 3 years.

Computers

Each library provides a suite of PCs for student use.  Each PC runs Windows software, Microsoft Office and is networked and connected to the Internet. You will be able to access your work everywhere in college. Students are allocated a printed allowance of £25.00 on a yearly basis which is across all PCs in college and it is unlikely that you will use up your entire allowance in a year.  Email access for students is free and there is a scanner available for student use in each library.

Opening Times

Opening Times may vary.

For any other information please contact a member of the Library Staff on your campus.
