The University Library (which is a copyright library), the library of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages (including the Beil German resarch library) and various College libraries are well stocked with books and periodicals required for research in many branches of Modern and Medieval Language studies. The Department of Linguistics has a well-equipped phonetics laboratory. The multimedia language learning facilities in the University’s Language Centre are open to all graduate students. A room equipped with closed-circuit television suitable for experimentation into processes of language learning and use js also available. Students also have access to the services of the Literary and Linguistic Computing Cent/e, which has equipment for word-processing and other computing, lap-top computers for loan, and provides advisory help. Research into aspects of literary and linguistic computation may be undertaken with the assistance of the Centre’s staff.
