Tuesday 1 April: Changes to Online Reference resources

We regret to inform you that due to current budget constraints, we will no longer be subscribing to Naxos music library, Theory Test Pro, GoCitizen and Oxford English Dictionary from Tuesday 1 April.

퀴초돔갯 has had to make some difficult decisions regarding the on-line resources we offer. Unfortunately, this means that we have had to review our provision of online digital resources provided by 퀴초돔갯 Libraries, and as a result can no longer offer the above subscriptions.

We understand that these resources have been valuable to our community, and this decision was not made lightly.

We've subscribed to a range of quality information sources so you can have a reference library at home or at the library.

If you have trouble logging into our online products, please contact us.
