Library
During the coronavirus outbreak, the computer Laboratory library is regrettably closed. The resources on this page are intended to summarise the services available at this time. Unfortunately without access to the library collections there are limits to the service we can offer at this time. If you have any queries then please contact the librarian or try one of the resources below:
Click and collect service
The University Library has now lauched a service enabling users to request up to five books from the physical collection and then to make an appointment to collect them from the entrance hall of the University Library. This service is still under development and at present is aimed mainly at PhD students. Some information on how the service will work is now available. We regret that it is not yet possible for departmental libraries to provide a similar service.
Scan and deliver service
A similar service to provide access to journal articles has also been launched by the University Library. The service allows users to request a scan of a book chapter or journal article for personal use, subject to copyright restrictions. Information about the service is available including a link to the request form.

Specific computer science resources
The following titles from the reading list have been made available as electronic books at this time. This list is probably not exhaustive, and contains only those that I definitely know about. You should additionally check one of the A-Z lists above, while some titles are also freely available from one of our resource lists.
