Online Library of LIGS University goes bigger

Great news for all the avid readers among you, our students. We have partnered with the LIRN online library to expand our portfolio of scholarly publications. 

Here’s what you need to know about the platform. LIRN is a non-profit provider of library services and content. It enables universities like LIGS University to access high-quality academic resources and has the tools and expertise to use them. 

LIRN believes that all libraries deserve access to technology and resources that enrich schools and empower students, regardless of size or budget. And that’s one of the many reasons we choose them for our students. 

What advantages does LIRN have over the other platforms we use at LIGS University?

• All publications are available electronically.
• Students have the support of online librarians.
• Book titles can be filtered by: format (video, ebook, audiobook, magazine), subject, vendors, or levels.

Thanks to the LIRN platform, we have expanded our portfolio of study materials by over 2800 new titles. And that’s great!
