The Library at Leicester College is here to support all students with their learning and study.
The service offers a wide variety of resources including:
- Study space – both for group work and quiet individual study, and dedicated areas for HE students
- PCs can be booked in advance, and support with using them (including DigiFIT, a tailored programme of self-study IT skills for those not confident in using PCs)
- Course textbooks and journals in both print and electronic versions
- Reading for leisure, including fiction, graphic novels, lifestyle and hobby books
- Reading and quiet space for wellbeing and mental health
- A dedicated e-Library on the College’s VLE Moodle, that hosts all of the Library’s e-books, e-journals and databases as well as information to support study
- Loans can be renewed, resources researched and reserved through the Library online catalogue
- DVDs and music CDs free to borrow
- MFDs for copying, printing and scanning
- Click and collect service is available through the Library online catalogue for Library resources. A ‘how to’ guide can be found in the e-Library under ‘Help and Support’.
