"I find the increasing provision of on-line search and article access a really valuable support for my research and teaching - backed of course by the very knowledgeable and friendly advice your team gives by phone and email. Unmatched in the varied research and academic institutions I work with."
Dr Wendy Hirsh.

“The Learning Resource Centre was one of the surprise benefits of Roffey Park. I had expected a library, but the LRC is a lot more. Not only are books, up-to-date periodicals and extensive online resources available, but there is also a hard working team of research librarians. Their exhaustive work helped my learning in OD, enabling me to deliver a key project this year.”
