ILM Resource Centre

ILM’s Resource Centre provides members with a wealth of information on leadership and management. From online modules which let you study at a pace of your own choosing, carefully compiled reading lists on key management topics, to a catalogue of specialist books you can borrow, the Resource Centre offers flexible learning and knowledge to members who take their careers and professional development seriously.

Books and e-books

We have a comprehensive online catalogue of all the books available for you to borrow from the ILM Resource Centre. The catalogue also includes our accessible range of e-books which can be browsed online 24/7 so that you can print off the pages you need without having to wait for the books to arrive in the post!

E-journals

You can spend a fortune subscribing to key business and academic journals – but they’re all free with our e-journals service. Find the information you need by browsing online.

Reading lists

To help you find relevant and useful information we’ve produced reading lists on key management and leadership topics and several specifically tailored for ILM qualifications.  As well as books, e-books and e-journals – all available for loan from the ILM Resource Centre - the reading lists point you to useful websites.

Business book summaries

If you’re pushed for time you’ll find our 5-page summaries of leading business books invaluable. Plus essays and articles written by leading thinkers.

Skills files & resource guides

Our quick and easy-to-read skills files contain information on a host of topics such as assertiveness, mentoring, delegation, mediation, risk management and motivation. Each file is accompanied by a resource guide with suggestions for further reading and useful websites.
