Additional Temporary Resources for Covid-19 Period
The following resources have been made freely available by publishers, in addition to our subscribed content, for students and staff to use during the period when university libraries are closed due to COVID-19. More resources are becoming available and will be added to the list as we get them. We hope this access will help through this difficult period. Please be aware that some of these resources will be withdrawn by publishers at the end of May and in early June. Please contact us via Library Chat if you need to discuss access to particular books, and we will try to help, or you can use the Suggest an e-book service from the library web page.
