Library Search

Library search gives details of where items are shelved in the library and the number of copies available. If the book or journal is available online the catalogue provides a link to take you to the item - you may need to log in to My Library Account download the full-text of your ebook or ejournal. You can also check your account from Library Search for details of books you have on loan.

Library Search can now be used on the move providing a simple, uncluttered, easy to read display for the screen resolution of your mobile device.
