We have all kinds of resources in our Libraries to help you with your studies. All books, multimedia and periodicals are listed on our Library Catalogue.

How to Search

• Enter your search terms. A search can be carried out using a title, author, subject term, ISBN or other keywords.
• Alternatively, select Advanced Search to view further search options.
• A successful search will show if your chosen title is available, its location, and call number.
• Make a note of this information as you will need it to find the item.
• All of our resources are arranged in colour-coded subject zones.
• Everything is shelved in Dewey Decimal order, which is the title's call number.

Please speak to a member of the Library Team if you need help finding anything.
