Library self-help information by subject and categories
The following references are available from the University Library either in hard copy, CD or ebooks. Most are readily available to buy either in bookshops or over the internet. There are also a limited number of books in the Learning Grid and the Bio-med Grid.
The material has been carefully chosen for quality and to cover a wide range of common problems experienced by students and where possible to look at some different ways of seeing the difficulties. Self-help materials can be used successfully either by working independently or alongside support from others.
This is by no means a comprehensive list and other references are available. It is hope the list will be added to periodically.
