NRC LibGuides.png

The library service at Northern Regional College provides students and staff with a wide range of resources, print and online, across all subject areas. Each library is stocked with course core texts and current popular books, journals and reports. We also have a wide range and up-to-date collection of print books in our central book repository in Newtownabbey. All print books can be searched via our library discovery service - i-Discover and requested via our click and collect form or by contacting your local campus library (details below).

We have an extensive collection of online digital information and learning resources to help you with your studies, available to access online 24/7 anytime, anywhere.

All students and staff have access to our online library catalogue, known as i-Discover (Links to an external site.), and all of our digital information resource subscriptions such as e-books, e-journals, e-databases and other subject related online content. Access is available to all students and staff online (Links to an external site.) 24/7 from outside the College.
