To facilitate urgent building remedial work on part of the IPA campus the IPA Library service has relocated to Room 5 within the IPA Teaching and Learning centre. Library staff are available to answer all queries from students during our regular opening hours.
Students can visit the library to browse the open bookshelves and use the study desks provided. The Library will endeavour to provide access to any other reading material requested by students either in print or as an ebook, in some cases there may be a waiting period while the material is retrieved from the library building or ordered online.
Online access to the Library catalogue, electronic databases of journals and eBooks is available to students through Moodle.
