You should always give credit to the author of any resource that you have
taken information or quotations from by adding references into your work
alongside the original authors work.
This should also be accompanied with a BIBLIOGRAPHY, or Reference List at

You can check to see if you have referenced correctly on TurnItIn. You may
already be using this in your course, with your tutor, but if not you can
access the generic student one on Blackboard.
Simply go to the Student Services course on Blackboard, find the Check
Your Work area and you can upload your work to see if you have

Borrow Types
There are many different types of borrow types that you need to be aware of
when booking out resources:
Standard Loans
Most items are issued as a standard loan, such as books and magazines. This
means that they can go out for 3 weeks at a time.
7 Day Loans
DVD’s and popular books are restricted to 7 days and will be indicated on the
spine labels.
Reference Copy
Some popular or expensive resources may be labelled as Reference Only and
can only be used inside the LRC and not borrowed.

DVDs
As well as books, we have a wide
variety of DVD’s that you can borrow
FREE of charge, for 7 days at a time.
These are located in the centre of
the LRC, on the rotating shelves.
To borrow these simply bring the
case and your ID card to the library
desk.

Fiction
Not all books in the library are text
books. We have many other types
too, including a vast collection of
fiction, sci-fi, easy reads, and
alternative language.
Find these near the comfort area in
the centre of the LRC.

Childrens Books
We also have many books for
children of all ages that can be
borrowed for youngsters at home, or
read by your little ones when they
come with you into college.
Please help yourself to our
collection, located in the train and
carriage in the IT Centre.
