Collections
The Library holds a number of specialised collections. These
are:
The 3 Hour Loan Collection, which is located behind the Service
Desk, mainly contains those items in heaviest demand. All users
should make themselves familiar with the arrangements for borrowing
stock from the Collection, which may be viewed
here.
The A/V Collection includes resources in video, CD-ROM and DVD
format. It is located on the low mobile shelving unit near the
foot of the stairs on the Ground Floor of the Campus Library.
The Collection includes films of historic interest, such as
"The Great Mill Race", part of which was filmed at The Scottish
College of Textiles, which merged with Heriot-Watt University in
1998, and now forms part of the Scottish Borders Campus of Borders
College and Heriot-Watt University at Netherdale, Galashiels.
You may be able to find materials in the Collection by combining a
keyword with "video", CD-ROM", "DVD", etc.
A selection of past exam papers is available online. Please
select the School administering the exam and the relevant "Diet" in
the table below, and click on "Year" for access to the available
papers for that year. You will be required to give your
University username and email password to view the exams.
