The Library provides a Web portal for students to access reading materials for your studies 24 hours a day, including electronic Journal (E-Journal) articles and electronic Books (E-Books), reports, legal materials and other resources.interaktif is a user-driven, customizable information service. interaktif allows you to create a personalized portable Web page listing information resources available from the Library.interaktif has more than 80,000 subject based Web links to resources.
The Library licenses (i.e. subscribes to) many commercial electronic collections on the Web, such as Emerald, JSTOR, ProQuest, etc.Some of these collections focus on very specific subject areas, some provide access to journal articles whilst other collections may focus on data, medical reports or specialist legal materials.Please also see Acceptable use guidelines.

We run training sessions in the use of our electronic resources and servicesReferencing Your Writing - During your studies you will also be required to indicate the source for quotations, concepts or other reading materials used in your own writing, this is typically called 'referencing‘.You should take great care when refering to (citing) the works of others in your own academic writing, since improper or misleading use of materials can be considered 'Plagiarism' a serious academic offense.
