Operational Policies

In this section you will find the major policies of a general nature which guide or govern the way Information Services (IS) works.

Detailed policy relating to the operation of individual services will usually be included in the information about each service.

General Collections deliver a dynamic, relevant and evolving collection of library resources to support teaching, learning and research in the University and, where practical, in the wider learning community.

The services that users are entitled to depends on their user type. If a user has more than one type (e.g. Student and Alumni) they are entitled to all the services from both categories.
