You can also use CD ROMS from which you can access information, for example, encyclopedias and art databases.
The Library has a computerised catalogue, which is now available via the Internet to look up all the material held by the Library.
Study Areas
There are two study areas within the library. One is a silent area, and the other is a quiet study area where an occasional whisper is allowed.
Please remember to respect others when in the Library and try not to disturb students who are working.
Pathways Corner 
September 2004 saw the opening of the new, specially designed Pathways Corner in the College Library. The project was a collaboration of the 2003-2004 students on the Pathways and BTEC National in Art, Year 1.
The corner has a jungle theme, and contains easier reading books on coloured shelving, a textile screen, stained glass effect ceiling panel, wall mounted tiles produced by both groups of students and a blue table decorated with water lilies and fish.
