The Study Zone offers access to a wealth of information – whether in print, online, or in multimedia format – and provides the necessary skills required for you to navigate the library’s resources independently. Our equipment reinforces this study-ethic, with RFID technology allowing the Study Zone to collate information and innovate the way in which we use technology within our library service. Our Pinterest account is just one of the ways in which we visually promote our new acquisitions to all students.
