Borrowing Books

Access to thousands of online journal articles via the Athens website

To browse the Information Store catalogue, go to

www.openathens.net

http://heritage.ccn.ac.uk

Step 1

If you would like to borrow resources, please contact your assessor to see if they can be delivered to your workplace. We appreciate that being a distance learner has its challenges, so we will issue items to you for longer than we would for our campus-based learners.

Book Suggestions

Select “Login to MyAthens� (email tis@ccn.ac.uk for your username and password)

We are always interested to hear your suggestions about books for your course. Please email tis@ccn.ac.uk and we will look into it.

Step 2

Making sure that you are on the Resources page (see arrow above), click on the title of a database (in the middle section) that interests you. We recommend Infotrac as an easy to use database, which covers all subject areas. Select Infotrac > General OneFile > enter one keyword per box. Please call us if you would like us to talk you through this. 3
