Never just go to the shelves where you think the books should be. Because the courses include such a wide range of subject matter, relevant books can be found in many places. When you are given a reading list, check each book in the catalogue to find the exact shelf number and location. The Expert library user gives more detailed search operations. Pamphlets have BLUE spine labels Both of these types can be borrowed.
Reference books are for use in the library only.
They are shelved with the lending books and are marked Reference. They have no date labels inside. They are kept behind the issue counter, and are issued on your ticket - no more than two at a time. Lecturers may also leave their own books to go on the Study Loan Collection, so check the lists as well as the library catalogue for items recommended by lecturers. Because Study Loan items are in high demand, we have introduced short loan periods.
