You can find books and all other kinds of library material by using the library catalogue. You can search by author; book or journal title; or keyword (subject). When the book you want comes up in your Search Results screen, click on Details. This should take you to the Item Location screen. Note the ‘class’ or ‘call’ number and the location - you'll find them under Holdings. We have a quick guide to the catalogue.
Our books are arranged by subject, but we separate 2-week loan, long loan, and reference books.
