Learning Resource Centre
|
The library resources and facilities are an essential
support to the learning, teaching and research activities at QM.
The new LRC consists of a combined facility for directed and self-directed
study, based on an integrated library and information service provision. The LRC
has 1000 study spaces organised as a mixture of silent study, group study areas,
bookable group study rooms, training rooms, assistive technology, student
learning support and a postgraduate study room.
Most study spaces are network enabled for terminal or laptop access to
electronic resources. In addition, the entire LRC is covered by a wireless
network.
We provide access to books and journals; both print and electronic, electronic
resources and audiovisual material to support courses and research and different
modes of study; full-time and part-time, on-site and at a distance. Many of the
resources available are accessible from wherever and whenever you need to study.
The LRC is committed to providing a service which is easy for all students and
staff at the institution to use. Help and support for users is provided in
person, by phone and by email and help and assistance is also provided via
guides available in the LRC to pick up or to print off from our website.
The LRC service desk is staffed by specially trained Information Services
Advisors who are able to handle your Library, IT or audio visual query and
either answer it directly or escalate it to a specialist in each of the relevant
areas.
The Liaison Librarians recognise the importance of information handling skills
and will work closely with your lecturers to make sure you are trained in
accessing the growing range of electronic resources purchased to support you in
your learning and research. The LRC staff also work closely with colleagues in
Student Services to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to
resources.
