Learning Resources Centre & Library

There's something for everyone in the Chichester and Brinsbury campus Learning Resources Centres.

Open Access IT Centres

Drop in and use our range of PCs with regularly updated Microsoft Office software and additional specialist software recommended by course tutors. Networked printers are also available for printing, scanning and copying.

Library

The libraries are at the centre of academic life in the college, and we work closely with tutors to provide a targeted selection of print and online books, magazines and databases.

All students and staff are automatically members of the library and can borrow for free.

Our library staff can offer advice and tuition to groups or individual students on copyright, referencing and research, including the use of online resources. Click below to see the latest information, including a link to the library catalogue and online resource listings.
