SAC Learning

Each campus has a modern, well-equipped library with suitable areas for private study, student group work and IT-based learning.

The combined resources of the libraries make up a substantial collection of approximately 50,000 books and materials, in addition to more than 670 current journal titles, in both print and electronic format.

The collection can be accessed using the online library catalogues, and an interlibrary loan service operates among the three campus libraries.

Access to major scientific databases, including CAB Abstracts and Web of Knowledge, is available throughout each campus.

The SAC Library is a member of UK Libraries Plus, giving our distance-learning students borrowing rights at participating HE libraries. Throughout the library network, there is a strong emphasis on developing independent learning skills.

Professional library staff can help you with enquiries, with introductory tours and study skills guides ensuring you can use library services and resources effectively.

During term time the libraries are open seven days a week and into the evening on week days.
