Please come and borrow some of the wonderful Transition Books that are now available at the University Library. It’s exciting to see them all so shiney and new, but we’d prefer that they were as well used as possible! To help you access these, and other relevent  resources, we have put together some Transition Reading lists, which you can see at http://resourcelists.st-andrews.ac.uk/modules/trans01.html
