Late May bank holiday closure 28th May - 31st May

The College is closed for the duration of the late May bank holiday.

This means that The Learning Curve library will also be closed.

We re-open at the normal time of 8.30 am on Tuesday, 1st June.

We wish all of our library users an enjoyable break...

Access to John Johnson collection through Athens

Next time you log in to Athens, have a look at the John Johnson Collection. The image to the right gives you an idea of the curiosities on offer.

This collection provides access to thousands of items selected from the John Johnson Collection of Printed Ephemera, offering unique insights into the changing nature of everyday life in Britain in the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Categories include Nineteenth-Century Entertainment, the Booktrade, Popular Prints, Crimes, Murders and Executions, and Advertising.

You'll find this Collection in the Resources tab. Ask a member of the Learning Resources team if you need any further help using this fascinating service.

Access to PCs 12th May 2010

The legendary thin client PCs have arrived and Central College technicians are working to install them over the next few days.

Unfortunately, this means learners will have limited access to computing facilities, for a few days to come.

This also means we can't book PCs at present, as we are unable to guarantee availability.

Please bear with us during this time - we are trying to make sure as many PCs are available as possible!
