Beyond these resources, we also provide access to an institutional repository. This holds a range of outputs from the institute, including freely accessible research and thesis from past students, all of these are free to read and download and may provide some help in your assignments. All of this can be accessed on the repository homepage.
Some other alternative resources can also be found through Open Access. Open access is where scientific articles and books are produced free of charge and, due to this, may provide a supplement to the library's online resources. Open access articles can be found in a variety of ways, as laid out below.
