Would you like to find out more about the wage gap between men and women or find out if climate change is such a big deal? Have you ever wondered how globalisation is affecting all of us or would you like to explore human rights in the UK? Then discover the OU’s ‘best kept secret’ – your online library!

Library Services has been experimenting with some new videos to promote and highlight the wealth of resources available to support your studies. Collections of ‘world class’ high quality online content covering ejournal collections, newspaper and document archives, video and audio content and a growing range of ebooks have been selected and used in a suite of themed showcases presented via the library’s Explore library resources pages. Are you aware of all the different library resources available to you when you study with the OU? Review a video in your chosen subject area and let us know which resources you didn’t know about or what you thought of the videos. Email your comments to library-promotions@open.ac.uk

Listed on the right-hand side of the Explore library resources web page you will find 14 different subject areas including Health & Social Care, Law, Psychology, and Environment, Development and International Studies.
