Mature Students and the Library
Returning to study, after being out of the education system for some time, is daunting for anyone. Mature students, in particular, can find it tough. They may be working full time or have onerous commitments outside of college. They are very often short of time and find it hard to learn about and fully utilise all of the college resources available to them.
Anne Jennings hopes to change all that - at least where the library is concerned! Anne has just been officially appointed our mature student liaison person. She can be contacted at 4027168 or at the library desk.
As a very successful mature student herself up to this year, Anne has a particular knowledge of and empathy towards this group so if you want to know about finding books and journals, using the printers/copiers, using electronic databases and e-journals, visiting other libraries and more - just give her a call.
