Use the online reading list system to find a reading list for your module or other modules.
Use Library Search to find the location number for items in the library. These use decimal numbers, so 709.12 is before 709.2.
Once you have found the item take it to the self-service machine with your university ID card and carefully follow the instructions on the screen.
Items are issued for 7 days and renewed daily unless another library user has requested them. If the item is requested, you will get an email asking you to return it within 7 days.
There are no library fines, but if you fail to return the requested items, your borrowing account will be blocked for as many days as your items are overdue.
When you have finished with items, please use the self-service machines to return them before placing them in the return slots. You can return books at any site.
Note that the numbers used include a decimal point, so 709.12 is before 709.2, and the sequence runs down the shelving units, as shown below.
If you cannot find a book, please let us know. You can request it via the 'Can't find what you need?' service if we cannot locate it in a reasonable time.
We would prefer it if you leave them on the tables so we have a record of what is being used.
Add the term 'DVD' to search for DVDs on Library Search and limit results to physical items (e.g. Kusama DVD).
