Ebooks


We’ve got a growing ebook collection and here’s just a sample of the ones we have for students on the Pre-Access course. You can read them using your OpenAthens username and password. Here are a selection of ebooks that match the Access to Higher Education course for this term.

Watch our video on why reading ebooks are a must do.

Use our handy worksheets taking you step-by-step through the process of using ebooks from our two suppliers; Dawsonera and ebrary.

Contact the LRC team for more information by dropping in during staffed hours or email us.

Fine-tune your English and literacy skills
Did you know we’ve got material to help you with English and literacy online and in the Learning Resources Centre?

The LRC English, Maths & Study Skills page has a wealth of information and material for you to try and download.

When you visit the LRC you’ll find English and literacy material in the filing cabinet which you can take away free of charge. We also have even more resources on our Online Public Access Catalogue 24/7 which you can search either on or off site.

Contact the LRC team for more information by dropping in during staffed hours or email us.

Blog it!

The Learning Resources Centre (LRC) team blog on the LRC Services page:

  • to alert you to new resources
  • give your tips on studying
  • share new exhibitions and events in and outside the curriculum.

Do let us know about material you've found useful or upcoming events which you'd like to share with us through the blog.

We've also got an external HillcroftLRC blog and you can follow us on Twitter.
