Our libraries aim to help and support you during your studies at Adam Smith College.
How can we help?
Our skilled staff can help you identify the resources you need, both from existing stock and online sources.
Campus libraries are stocked with a wide range of resources, books, eBooks, journals and much more. These have been chosen to support your course. We also have a small fiction collection.
All of our libraries have a range of study spaces, including IT areas. PCs can be booked by staff and students for research and study use. Our staff can help you login to the network and advise on search techniques. Booking your PC in advance will ensure you a place at busy times.
