AMDT Online Resources

Your home institution will be able to help you with your research needs and to make the best use of the library and its resources.

They can also support you if you are having problems finding or accessing materials.

If you have problems accessing individual items using Library Search, you can report it directly using the "Problems opening the links above ? Please let us know" option.

Don't forget that there is a wealth of online guides, videos and other resources available:

Subject guides detail the key resources in each of the main subject areas and advice on how to find the best material for your assignments.
StudyHub provides online resources designed to support you with your academic work from researching to critical thinking to referencing.

Not all services listed in the StudyHub are available to Falmouth Partner students. Please check with your tutor if you are unsure.

Many Higher Education Institutions offer 'walk-in' access to members of the general public.

This allows you to use the library spaces for study and browse the physical collections. It is usually reference only.

In some instances, they may also provide limited access to certain electronic resources, databases and digital collections.

To find out what is available locally, please look for Visitor or Day Reader pages on the relevant institution's website.

Please note: Access is not guaranteed, and may be restricted, particularly during busy periods.

Sconul Access is a reciprocal service through which students from one member institutions have access to the library services of another member.

Unfortunately, under the terms of the scheme, Falmouth University is unable to provide membership of Sconul Access for students registered on Franchise Partner programmes.

Academic staff employed by Partner institutions should contact their Academic Partner Manager for support with Falmouth Library resources or services.

Your APM will be able to provide advice or refer the issue on to the relevant team.

Access to library resources
