DISPLAY

DVDS

We have almost 1000 quality dvds to borrow on your library card for 1 week at a time.

Athens

Using an Athens password, obtained from the library, students can access many of the online database resources found on the College Library network, at home.

This means they can work at their own pace, whenever they wish. This puts the learner in control of their own learning.

Clydebank College Library Blog

An up to date one-stop-shop & a portal to guide you to your own subject area.

It also serves as a guide to the library & a current awareness bulletin.

Education Media Online

You will be amazed at the number of useful films in your subject area. Accessible via Athens.

Oxford Premium Reference Online

An online version of your own reference Library. It covers a wide range of subjects.

Scran

If you are searching for just the right illustration, this is a useful copyright free, resource.

Can be searched remotely using an Athens Password.

Infotrac

In 3 sections:

1) A selection of UK and International newspapers. Three searching options - search across all titles or 'browse & submit' selections to search individual titles. For best print results use the print/email/download option within the database itself

2) A one-stop source for news and periodical articles on a wide range of topics: business, computers, current events, economics, education, environmental issues, health care, hobbies, humanities, law, literature and art, politics, science, social science, sports, technology, and many general interest topics. Millions of full-text articles, many with images. Updated daily.

3) Gale Virtual Reference Library is a database of encyclopedias and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research. These reference materials once were accessible only in the library, but now you can access them online from the library or remotely 24/7. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries (your school, your public library, or your office).
