About E-Resources
E-resources provide information in an electronic format. They can be an electronic version of something that also exists in print - for example magazines and books - or they can be a collection of resources brought together only in electronic form, for example a website or a database. All of our e-Resources contain valid, peer-reviewed material from trusted sources.
A full list of current eresources follows. For further information, links and help for eresources, see the eresources page on Moodle
