Library for the Sixth Form

6th Formers need the resources to support independent study

In acknowledgement of their increased information need, the Library makes the following differentiated provision:

  • Increased borrowing allowance of up to 6 items at any one time.
  • Independent study spaces available as an alternative provision during non-timetabled free periods
  • Subscription to specialist online information resources. For more recommendations of suitable online information, see the Resources page.
  • Advanced level book resources made available and limited to 6th Form borrowing only
  • Independent study and research support provided by a professionally qualified research librarian
  • Study skills sessions run by the Librarian for Year 12 students, and user guides e.g. on Referencing and Bibliographies provided.
  • A wide range of University prospectuses and careers information materials available for consultation.

Resource Requests

If a 6th Form student requires a resource that the library doesn't have in stock, they are entitled to request its purchase. If this is not possible, the librarian will help and advise on where and how the information can be accessed.
