| Description: |
TRI Resource Centre provides current issues
of key journals for perusal by academic research staff,
but past issues are stored and loaned by Napier University
Library. The serial titles at TRI Resource Centre supplement
the transport
titles held in the university library. TRI can call
on more than 150 current transport serials through the
networked NUL OPAC in the TRI Resource Centre. Documents
housed in TRI Resource Centre are intended to supply
both ephemeral information on grants or calls to tender,
and also to house reference materials together with
grey literature required for research purposes. |
