We are delighted to announce some new journal titles and other resources available from the University Library.
Ones useful for APL staff and students are :
New journals
This journal presents a scholarly forum for the history, theory, and criticism of design. It provokes inquiry into the cultural and intellectual role of non-architectural fields, from graphic design to industrial design. We have access volume one onwards.

Lidar Digimap offers detailed Lidar data from the Environment Agency and presents a model of the earth’s surface.
Uses of Lidar data are highly varied, from use in the creation of visual effects for virtual reality and film projects to archaeology, forestry management, flood and pollution modelling.
We have access to De Gruyter’s entire ebook collection until June 2019, after which we will buy access to the most well used titles. This currently covers over 27,000 titles related to numerous subjects including architecture and design. All titles are catalogued individually on Library Search.
We’ve now added the archive for 2007-2017 to our newspapers collection.
