There is a comprehensive stock of component in the department. To use them effectively you need to look at the datasheets. Datasheets are provided my manufacturers of components to tell you about the pinout of the component and how it operates. Manufacturers may also provide application notes with circuit diagrams to show you how to use the component to solve a particular problem.

There are some good games to give you practice recognising components on Nick Reeder's pages from Sinclair College in the USA.
