If you're on a distance learning course, we can

help you by

• letting you borrow things for longer periods

of time

• sending books out to you through the post

• supplying you with copies of journal articles

and book chapters that aren't available

electronically

If you'd like to find out more, contact the Distance Learner Support

Search for 'eduroam' on shuspace for information

on connecting your laptop, phone, etc.
