Library & Information Services
The Library
The library aims to support and enhance the teaching and learning at Hadlow College by providing relevant collections of information and purposeful learning environments for all members of the College community. At our Hadlow, Mottingham and Canterbury campuses we have designated libraries with the full range of facilities.
With over 18,000 specialist resources, both traditional print and electronic, the stock covers all curriculum areas. An on-line catalogue encourages students' awareness of the resources available, and also allows them to manage their own loans.
Each library has areas for private study with tables and computer terminals on open access. We liaise closely with teaching staff and students to ensure that the stock is current and relevant, and that suitable materials are available for the completion of assignments and project work.
In addition, staff are always available to give specialist support. All students are welcomed to the library at the start of their course and tutorials on information skills are available throughout the year.
The library at Hadlow campus is open all year round, with extended opening hours into the evenings and weekends during term-time. Mottingham and Canterbury libraries are open during term time only.

Computer Services
Students benefit from five modern computer suites at our Hadlow campus with one at both of our Mottingham and Canterbury sites. These reliable PCs are equipped with specialist software that is needed for students' work, as well as colour printing facilities. The College has wireless access solution in place giving students internet access to areas around the College and residential blocks.
An e-mail address and mailbox is provided to each student which is also accessible from the internet. In addition, IT Support is on hand for students' technical queries.
