How can I find items in the library?
Answer
The Library Catalogue lists all the books, e-books, journals and DVDs that are available in the Library. You can search our catalogue using an author’s name, an item’s title, a subject keyword or a mixture of these.
Type the details of the item you are looking for in the catalogue search box and then click on search. This will then show you all the details of the items that match your search, you can narrow down your results by using the Location, Format, Subject, Year or Author facets on the left side of the page.
Once you have found an item you want, click on Check Availability on the right side of the page to show you where the book is held, the shelf mark, loan type and availability. Click on the item’s title to see all the information about it.
Make a note of the shelfmark, including the three letters that follow it, of the item and look for the shelfmark on signs around the Library to find the right shelf.
For journals click on show library holdings to find out where they are held.
E-books can be accessed by clicking the link shown.
Instructions for using the Library Catalogue can be found through the Help tab at the top of the Library Catalogue page. If you need any further help please contact a member of the Library staff.
